RISC-V: fix compile error from deduplicated __ALTERNATIVE_CFG_2

Browse source 
On the non-assembler-side wrapping alternative-macros inside other macros
to prevent duplication of code works, as the end result will just be a
string that gets fed to the asm instruction.

In real assembler code, wrapping .macro blocks inside other .macro blocks
brings more restrictions on usage it seems and the optimization done by
commit 2ba8c7dc71 ("riscv: Don't duplicate __ALTERNATIVE_CFG in __ALTERNATIVE_CFG_2")
results in a compile error like:

../arch/riscv/lib/strcmp.S: Assembler messages:
../arch/riscv/lib/strcmp.S:15: Error: too many positional arguments
../arch/riscv/lib/strcmp.S:15: Error: backward ref to unknown label "886:"
../arch/riscv/lib/strcmp.S:15: Error: backward ref to unknown label "887:"
../arch/riscv/lib/strcmp.S:15: Error: backward ref to unknown label "886:"
../arch/riscv/lib/strcmp.S:15: Error: backward ref to unknown label "887:"
../arch/riscv/lib/strcmp.S:15: Error: backward ref to unknown label "886:"
../arch/riscv/lib/strcmp.S:15: Error: attempt to move .org backwards

Wrapping the variables containing assembler code in quotes solves this issue,
compilation and the code in question still works and objdump also shows sane
decompiled results of the affected code.
