Subject: [PATCH] gcov: add support for GCC 5.1

This patch fixes kernel gcov support for GCC 5.1. Similar to commit
a992bf836f9c3039a16f4bd068d161c86c6c3e2c this patch takes into account
the existence of a new gcov counter (see gcc's gcc/gcov-counter.def.)

Firstly, it increments GCOV_COUNTERS (to 10), which makes the data
structure struct gcov_info compatible with GCC 5.1.

Secondly, a corresponding counter function __gcov_merge_icall_topn (Top
 N value tracking for indirect calls) is included in base.c with the
other gcov counters unused for kernel profiling.
