elfnote: Change ELFNOTE() to use __UNIQUE_ID()
In preparation for the objtool klp diff subcommand, replace the custom unique symbol name generation in ELFNOTE() with __UNIQUE_ID(). This standardizes the naming format for all "unique" symbols, which will allow objtool to properly correlate them. Note this also removes the "one ELF note per line" limitation. Acked-by: Petr Mladek <pmladek@suse.com> Tested-by: Joe Lawrence <joe.lawrence@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@kernel.org>
