Rename .data.unlikely to .data..unlikely
[ Upstream commit bb43a59 ] Commit 7ccaba5 ("consolidate WARN_...ONCE() static variables") was intended to collect all .data.unlikely sections into one chunk. However, this has not worked when CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION or CONFIG_LTO_CLANG is enabled, because .data.unlikely matches the .data.[0-9a-zA-Z_]* pattern in the DATA_MAIN macro. Commit cb87481 ("kbuild: linker script do not match C names unless LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION is configured") was introduced to suppress the issue for the default CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION=n case, providing a minimal fix for stable backporting. We were aware this did not address the issue for CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION=y. The plan was to apply correct fixes and then revert cb87481. [1] Seven years have passed since then, yet the #ifdef workaround remains in place. Using a ".." separator in the section name fixes the issue for CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION and CONFIG_LTO_CLANG.
