Add kcov_remote_start()/kcov_remote_stop() annotations to the
vhost_worker() function, which is responsible for processing vhost
works.

Since vhost_worker() threads are spawned per vhost device instance the
common kcov handle is used for kcov_remote_start()/stop() annotations
(see Documentation/dev-tools/kcov.rst for details).  As the result kcov
can now be used to collect coverage from vhost worker threads.

This reverts commit a89db445fbd7f1f8457b03759aa7343fa530ef6b.

I was hasty to include this patch, and it breaks the build on 32 bit.
Defence in depth is good but let's do it properly.

<title>vhost: make sure log_num &lt; in_num</title>

<id>060423bfdee3f8bc6e2c1bac97de24d5415e2bc4</id>
<content type='text'>
The code assumes log_num &lt; in_num everywhere, and that is true as long as
in_num is incremented by descriptor iov count, and log_num by 1. However
this breaks if there's a zero sized descriptor.

As a result, if a malicious guest creates a vring desc with desc.len = 0,
it may cause the host kernel to crash by overflowing the log array. This
bug can be triggered during the VM migration.

There's no need to log when desc.len = 0, so just don't increment log_num
in this case.

iovec addresses coming from vhost are assumed to be
pre-validated, but in fact can be speculated to a value
out of range.

Userspace address are later validated with array_index_nospec so we can
be sure kernel info does not leak through these addresses, but vhost
must also not leak userspace info outside the allowed memory table to
guests.

Following the defence in depth principle, make sure
the address is not validated out of node range.
