[PATCH v2 0/1] Fix kernel build failure with CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL=y

[Konstantin Khorenko]

This patch fixes a build failure in net/core/skbuff.c that occurs when
CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL=y is enabled.

v2: use __no_profile instead of preprocessor guards, as suggested
    by Thomas Weißschuh.  This solves the root cause (GCOV counters
    preventing constant folding) and also removes the existing
    CONFIG_KCOV_INSTRUMENT_ALL guard which is no longer needed.

Build failure without this patch
---------------------------------

With the following configuration:

  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL=y
  CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL=y
  # CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_FTRACE is not set
  CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_RDS=y
  CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_URING=y

The kernel fails to build with:

Testing
-------

Tested with GCC 11.4.1 and GCC 16.0.1 20260327 (experimental) - both
exhibit the same build failure without the patch.  Both compile
successfully with the patch applied.
