[PATCH v4 RESEND 2/7] riscv: stacktrace: disable KASAN and KCOV instrumentation for stacktrace.o

[Wang Han <wanghan@linux.alibaba.com>]

KASAN records stack traces for every alloc/free, which means it walks
the unwinder very frequently. Instrumenting the stack trace collection
code itself adds substantial overhead and makes the traces themselves
noisier.

KCOV instruments every basic-block edge. The unwinder is a hot path,
especially with KASAN enabled, so KCOV instrumentation has the same kind
of cost and noise problem here.

Mark stacktrace.o as not KASAN- or KCOV-instrumented, matching the x86
treatment of its stack unwinding code. RISC-V keeps the relevant unwinder
code in stacktrace.o, so a single translation-unit annotation covers the
equivalent scope. This is a prerequisite preference for the upcoming
reliable unwinder, but the change is valid on its own.
