kernel: make kcov_common_handle consider the current context
kcov_common_handle is a method that is used to obtain a "default" KCOV remote handle of the current process. The handle can later be passed to kcov_remote_start in order to collect coverage for the processing that is initiated by one process, but done in another. For details see Documentation/dev-tools/kcov.rst and comments in kernel/kcov.c. Presently, if kcov_common_handle is called in an IRQ context, it will return a handle for the interrupted process. This may lead to unreliable and incorrect coverage collection. Adjust the behavior of kcov_common_handle in the following way. If it is called in a task context, return the common handle for the currently running task. Otherwise, return 0.
