m68k: Fix invalid .section syntax
[ Upstream commit 922a9bd138101e3e5718f0f4d40dba68ef89bb43 ]
gas supports several different forms for .section for ELF targets,
including:
.section NAME [, "FLAGS"[, @TYPE[,FLAG_SPECIFIC_ARGUMENTS]]]
and:
.section "NAME"[, #FLAGS...]
In several places we use a mix of these two forms:
.section NAME, #FLAGS...
A current development snapshot of binutils (2.40.50.20230611) treats
this mixed syntax as an error.
Change to consistently use:
.section NAME, "FLAGS"
as is used elsewhere in the kernel.
