Subject: [PATCH v2] kcov: don't lose track of remote references during softirqs

In kcov_remote_start()/kcov_remote_stop(), we swap the previous KCOV
metadata of the current task into a per-CPU variable. However, the
kcov_mode_enabled(mode) check is not sufficient in the case of remote
KCOV coverage: current->kcov_mode always remains KCOV_MODE_DISABLED
for remote KCOV objects.

If the original task that has invoked the KCOV_REMOTE_ENABLE ioctl
happens to get interrupted and kcov_remote_start() is called, it
ultimately leads to kcov_remote_stop() NOT restoring the original
KCOV reference. So when the task exits, all registered remote KCOV
handles remain active forever.

Fix it by introducing a special kcov_mode that is assigned to the
task that owns a KCOV remote object. It makes kcov_mode_enabled()
return true and yet does not trigger coverage collection in
__sanitizer_cov_trace_pc() and write_comp_data().
