Currently there's a kcov remote coverage collection section in
__usb_hcd_giveback_urb(). Initially that section was added based on the
assumption that usb_hcd_giveback_urb() can only be called in interrupt
context as indicated by a comment before it. This is what happens when
syzkaller is fuzzing the USB stack via the dummy_hcd driver.

As it turns out, it's actually valid to call usb_hcd_giveback_urb() in task
context, provided that the caller turned off the interrupts; USB/IP does
exactly that. This can lead to a nested KCOV remote coverage collection
sections both trying to collect coverage in task context. This isn't
supported by kcov, and leads to a WARNING.

Change __usb_hcd_giveback_urb() to only call kcov_remote_*() callbacks
when it's being executed in a softirq. To avoid calling
in_serving_softirq() directly in the driver code, add a couple of new kcov
wrappers.

As the result of this change, the coverage from USB/IP related
usb_hcd_giveback_urb() calls won't be collected, but the WARNING is fixed.

A potential future improvement would be to support nested remote coverage
collection sections, but this patch doesn't address that.

Changes in v5:
- Don't call in_serving_softirq() in USB driver code directly, do that
  via kcov wrappers.

Does not apply to 5.11-rc1 :(

Hm, I see version 4 in 5.11-rc1. Let me send a fix up.
