From: Aleksandar Markovic <amarkovic@wavecomp.com>

kcov is kernel code coverage tracing tool. It requires kernel 4.4+
compiled with certain kernel options. Its interface consists of
three ioctls.

This patch checks if kcov support is present on build machine, and
stores the result in variable CONFIG_KCOV, meant to be used in
linux-user code related to the support for above mentioned ioctls.
