Subject: [PATCH v2] arm64: allow building with kcov coverage on ARM64

Add ARCH_HAS_KCOV to ARM64 config. To avoid crashes, disable
instrumentation of the following files:

arch/arm64/boot/*
arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/*

Signed-off-by: Alexander Potapenko <glider@...gle.com>
---
v2: - disable instrumentation of arch/arm64/{boot,kvm/hyp}
    - enable instrumentation of arch/arm64/lib/delay.c
