When debug information is enabled (e.g. -ggdb3), the assembler
output file (e.g. kernel/sched/rq-offsets.s) contains additional
directives such as .ascii with offset info and debug metadata.

For example:

    .ascii "->RQ_nr_pinned $3048 offsetof(struct rq, nr_pinned)"  #
    ...
    .ascii "->func); __data = (it_func_ptr)->data; ((void(*)(void *, pro"

The current sed-offsets macro uses [^ ]* to match constant names,
which is too permissive and can match unexpected characters when
debug directives are present. Additionally, the fallback command
's:->::; p;' strips '->' from any unmatched line and prints it,
which causes debug metadata to leak into the generated header
file (include/generated/rq-offsets.h), breaking the build.

Replace [^ ]* with [[:alnum:]_]* to match only valid C identifiers,
and remove the fallback 's:->::' command so that only successfully
transformed lines are emitted into the generated header.

Fixes: 7dd47b95b0f5 ("kbuild: consolidate redundant sed script ASM offset generation")
