The root cause is the difference in __section macro semantics between 5.4 and
later LTS releases. On 5.4 it stringifies the argument so the ___done
symbol is created in a bogus section ".data.once", with double quotes:

% readelf -S vmlinux | grep data.once
  [ 5] ".data.once"      PROGBITS         ffffffff82216c6a  01416c6a
