net: add kcov handle to skb extensions
Remote KCOV coverage collection enables coverage-guided fuzzing of the code that is not reachable during normal system call execution. It is especially helpful for fuzzing networking subsystems, where it is common to perform packet handling in separate work queues even for the packets that originated directly from the user space. Enable coverage-guided frame injection by adding kcov remote handle to skb extensions. Default initialization in __alloc_skb and __build_skb_around ensures that no socket buffer that was generated during a system call will be missed. Code that is of interest and that performs packet processing should be annotated with kcov_remote_start()/kcov_remote_stop(). An alternative approach is to determine kcov_handle solely on the basis of the device/interface that received the specific socket buffer. However, in this case it would be impossible to distinguish between packets that originated during normal background network processes or were intentionally injected from the user space.

KCOV exposes kernel code coverage information in a form suitable
for coverage-guided fuzzing (randomized testing).
