kcov: prefault the kcov_area
On many architectures the vmalloc area is lazily faulted in upon first access. This is problematic for KCOV, as __sanitizer_cov_trace_pc accesses the (vmalloc'd) kcov_area, and fault handling code may be instrumented. If an access to kcov_area faults, this will result in mutual recursion through the fault handling code and __sanitizer_cov_trace_pc(), eventually leading to stack corruption and/or overflow. We can avoid this by faulting in the kcov_area before __sanitizer_cov_trace_pc() is permitted to access it. Once it has been faulted in, it will remain present in the process page tables, and will not fault again.
