__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

Remove __MODULE_STRING() now that all remaining uses have been replaced
directly with __stringify().
