[PATCH v3 2/6] kcov: Add a kcov_pause guard

[Karl Mehltretter]

Interrupt-return work can run after HARDIRQ_OFFSET is dropped, when
in_task() is true. KCOV then attributes instrumented callees to the
interrupted task.

Add a KCOV_PAUSED bit next to KCOV_IN_CTXSW and mask both in
kcov_mode_enabled(). The coverage callbacks need no new check because
check_kcov_mode()'s exact comparison rejects modes with KCOV_PAUSED set.

The context switch suppression keeps its own bit: kcov_prepare_switch()
runs on the previous task and kcov_finish_switch() on the one switched
in, so its lifetime is not a pause section.

The shared setter no longer sets KCOV_IN_CTXSW on a disabled task,
since its mode already fails the coverage callbacks' exact comparison.

Provide a kcov_pause guard backed by flag helpers shared with context
switch suppression. The helpers access kcov_mode with READ_ONCE() and
WRITE_ONCE() and use compiler barriers to keep instrumented calls inside
the suppressed region. The guard saves the previous pause state and
restores it at scope exit, so sections nest. When KCOV is enabled for
current, remote softirq sections save and restore the complete mode,
preserving the pause state.

With CONFIG_KCOV=y, restoring a previously clear flag still writes
kcov_mode even when task coverage is disabled; nested guards also take
that path in this case.

The helpers are __always_inline. Guard users must be built without KCOV
instrumentation because inlining does not remove the caller's own coverage
callbacks.
