This adds support for kcov to UML.

There is a small problem where UML will randomly segfault during boot;
this is because current_thread_info() occasionally returns an invalid
(non-NULL) pointer and we try to dereference it in
__sanitizer_cov_trace_pc(). I consider this a bug in UML itself and this
patch merely exposes it.

[v2: disable instrumentation in UML-specific code]
