__MODULE_STRING() has been an alias for __stringify() since "[PATCH]
MODULE_PARM support for older modules" [1] in 2002-12. That change also
moved it to the graveyard section at the end of linux/module.h

Replace the remaining uses of __MODULE_STRING() with __stringify() in
preparation for its removal.

I don't know how other subsystem maintainers want to handle it,
but please send the hwmon patches separately; I'll want to apply
it through the hwmon tree to avoid the potential of merge conflicts.

Thanks,
Guenter
