[PATCH] Compiler Attributes: counted_by: Adjust name and identifier expansion

From: Kees Cook
Date: Thu Aug 17 2023 - 16:07:04 EST


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.
