Compiler Attributes: counted_by: Adjust name and identifier expansion
[ Upstream commit c8248faf3ca276ebdf60f003b3e04bf764daba91 ]
GCC and Clang's current RFCs name this attribute "counted_by", and have
moved away from using a string for the member name. Update the kernel's
macros to match. Additionally provide a UAPI no-op macro for UAPI structs
that will gain annotations.
