Up to you and maintainer of the corresponding subsystem.

My common sense tells me that
1) if there is a cover letter, just put a joined changelog there
2) otherwise, put changelog in each patch.

I saw in practice all possible variants, i.e.
a) cover letter w/o changelog + changelog per patch;
b) cover letter w/ changelog + changelog per patch;
c) cover letter w/ changelog.

I think any of it is fine in general.
