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.
