Precedence: bulk

When enabling CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS, the linker will warn about the
orphan sections:
(".discard.ksym") is being placed in '".discard.ksym"'
repeatedly when linking vmlinux. This is because the stringification
operator, `#`, in the preprocessor escapes strings.  GCC and Clang
differ in how they treat section names that contain \".

The portable solution is to not use a string literal with the
preprocessor stringification operator.
