[PATCH v3 6/6] sched/core: Pause KCOV in wake_up_new_task()

[Karl Mehltretter]

wake_up_new_task() is built without KCOV instrumentation, but CPU
selection and enqueue call instrumented helpers. During a KCOV-enabled
fork, they can record scheduler, hrtimer and clockevent coverage into the
parent.

The paths depend on runqueue and CPU state, so coverage varies between
identical forks. Pause KCOV for the whole function, extending the
scheduler exclusion to new-task wakeups.
