Precedence: bulk

KMSAN does not instrument kernel/kcov.c for performance reasons (with
CONFIG_KCOV=y virtually every place in the kernel invokes kcov
instrumentation). Therefore the tool may miss writes from kcov.c that
initialize memory.

When CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST is enabled, list pointers from kernel/kcov.c are
passed to instrumented helpers in lib/list_debug.c, resulting in false
positives.

To work around these reports, we unpoison the contents of area->list after
initializing it.

v4:
 -- change sizeof(type) to sizeof(*ptr)
 -- swap kcov: and kmsan: in the subject
