We can't break allmodconfig and allyesconfig!

I did this:

--- a/Makefile~kernel-add-kcov-code-coverage-fix-2
+++ a/Makefile
@@ -678,6 +678,7 @@ ifdef CONFIG_KCOV
   ifeq ($(call cc-option, $(CFLAGS_KCOV)),)
     $(warning Cannot use CONFIG_KCOV: \
              -fsanitize-coverage=trace-pc is not supported by compiler)
+    CFLAGS_KCOV =
   endif
 endif
 
but hopefully there's a better way: it's a bit silly to build in the
kcov code but to not have the compiler-generated instrumentation which
calls it.
