[RFC PATCH] kbuild: clean-up passing KCOV compiler flags

[Masahiro Yamada]

Now that the compiler support for KCOV is computed in the Kconfig
phase, expensive $(call cc-option,...) calls no longer exist in
scripts/Makefile.kcov .

It shouldn't hurt to include scripts/Makefile.kcov everytime Kbuild
descends into a sub-directory.  Also, move ugly stuff from Makefile.lib
to Makefile.kcov .

My hope is to do likewise for gcov, kasan, ubsan.

gcov, kcov, kasan, ubsan need per-file (or per-directory)
flag addition or removal.

Currently, scripts/Makefile.lib is cluttered to handle this.

If this clean-up is achieved, scripts/Makefile.lib will
look like this:

 ---------------------->8------------------------------
include-$(CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL) += scripts/Makefile.gcov
include-$(CONFIG_KCOV)        += scripts/Makefile.kcov
include-$(CONFIG_KASAN)       += scripts/Makefile.kasan
include-$(CONFIG_UBSAN)       += scripts/Makefile.ubsan

include $(include-y)
 ---------------------->8------------------------------

I will not apply this until some more cleanups are done (hence, RFC).
At least, scripts/Makefile.kasan is so complicated for now.
