kcov: prefault the kcov_area

Browse Source 
On many architectures the vmalloc area is lazily faulted in upon first
access.  This is problematic for KCOV, as __sanitizer_cov_trace_pc
accesses the (vmalloc'd) kcov_area, and fault handling code may be
instrumented.  If an access to kcov_area faults, this will result in
mutual recursion through the fault handling code and
__sanitizer_cov_trace_pc(), eventually leading to stack corruption
and/or overflow.

We can avoid this by faulting in the kcov_area before
__sanitizer_cov_trace_pc() is permitted to access it.  Once it has been
faulted in, it will remain present in the process page tables, and will
not fault again.
