[PATCH] disable KCOV coverage for kexec code

[Rik van Riel <riel@surriel.com>]

Trying to have code coverage for the kexec code results in
kexec-on-panic not working in a syzkaller setup.

Excluding the kexec code from code coverage makes it work again.

I cannot take credit for figuring this one out, this was all
done by Claude driving a syzkaller setup, and examining the
guest vcpu register dumps to figure out why kdump in the guest
wasn't working. Now Claude has access to vmcores.
