Andrey Konovalov 5ff3b30ab5 kcov: collect coverage from interrupts
This change extends kcov remote coverage support to allow collecting
coverage from soft interrupts in addition to kernel background threads.

To collect coverage from code that is executed in softirq context, a part
of that code has to be annotated with kcov_remote_start/stop() in a
similar way as how it is done for global kernel background threads.  Then
the handle used for the annotations has to be passed to the
KCOV_REMOTE_ENABLE ioctl.

Internally this patch adjusts the __sanitizer_cov_trace_pc() compiler
inserted callback to not bail out when called from softirq context.
kcov_remote_start/stop() are updated to save/restore the current per task
kcov state in a per-cpu area (in case the softirq came when the kernel was
already collecting coverage in task context).  Coverage from softirqs is
collected into pre-allocated per-cpu areas, whose size is controlled by
the new CONFIG_KCOV_IRQ_AREA_SIZE.
