drivers/xen/xenbus: Fix namespace collision and split() section placement with AutoFDO

When compiling the kernel with -ffunction-sections enabled, the split()
function gets compiled into the .text.split section.  In some cases it
can even be cloned into .text.split.constprop.0 or .text.split.isra.0.

However, .text.split.* is already reserved for use by the Clang
-fsplit-machine-functions flag, which is used by AutoFDO.  That may
place part of a function's code in a .text.split.<func> section.

This naming conflict causes the vmlinux linker script to wrongly place
split() with other .text.split.* code, rather than where it belongs with
regular text.

Fix it by renaming split() to split_strings().

Fixes: 6568f14cb5ae ("vmlinux.lds: Exclude .text.startup and .text.exit from TEXT_MAIN")
