The help text for CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_KCOV is stale, and describes the feature as being enabled only for x86_64, when it is now enabled for several architectures, including arm, arm64, powerpc, and s390.
Let's remove that stale help text, and update it along the lines of hat for ARCH_HAS_FORTIFY_SOURCE, better describing when an architecture should select CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_KCOV.
