GCC unescapes escaped string section names while Clang does not. Because __section uses the `#` stringification operator for the section name, it doesn't need to be escaped. This fixes an Oops observed in distro's that use systemd and not net.core.bpf_jit_enable=1, when their kernels are compiled with Clang.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
