Subject: [PATCH 4.9 021/145] kcov: detect double association with a single task

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov@...gle.com>

commit a77660d231f8b3d84fd23ed482e0964f7aa546d6 upstream.

Currently KCOV_ENABLE does not check if the current task is already
associated with another kcov descriptor.  As the result it is possible
to associate a single task with more than one kcov descriptor, which
later leads to a memory leak of the old descriptor.  This relation is
really meant to be one-to-one (task has only one back link).

Extend validation to detect such misuse.
