kernel: make kcov_common_handle consider the current context
kcov_common_handle is a method that is used to obtain a "default" KCOV
remote handle of the current process. The handle can later be passed
to kcov_remote_start in order to collect coverage for the processing
that is initiated by one process, but done in another. For details see
Documentation/dev-tools/kcov.rst and comments in kernel/kcov.c.
Presently, if kcov_common_handle is called in an IRQ context, it will
return a handle for the interrupted process. This may lead to
unreliable and incorrect coverage collection.
Adjust the behavior of kcov_common_handle in the following way. If it
is called in a task context, return the common handle for the
currently running task. Otherwise, return 0.
