[PATCH v2] srcu: avoid escaped section names

From: Nick Desaulniers
Date: Tue Sep 29 2020 - 15:25:58 EST


The stringification operator, `#`, in the preprocessor escapes strings.
For example, `# "foo"` becomes `"\"foo\""`. 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.
