Currently there's a KCOV remote coverage collection section in
__usb_hcd_giveback_urb(). Initially that section was added based on the
assumption that usb_hcd_giveback_urb() can only be called in interrupt
context as indicated by a comment before it.

As it turns out, it's actually valid to call usb_hcd_giveback_urb() in task
context, provided that the caller turned off the interrupts; USB/IP actually
does that. This can lead to a nested KCOV remote coverage collection
sections both trying to collect coverage in task context. This isn't
supported by KCOV, and leads to a WARNING.

The approach this patch takes is to annotate every call of kcov_remote_*()
callbacks with the context those callbacks are supposed to be executed in.
If the current context doesn't match the mask provided to a callback,
that callback is ignored. KCOV currently only supports collecting remote
coverage in two contexts: task and softirq.

As the result, the coverage from USB/IP related usb_hcd_giveback_urb() calls
won't be collected, but the WARNING is fixed.

A potential future improvement would be to support nested remote coverage
collection sections, but this patch doesn't address that.

 is used to denote the id of a subsystem that this handle belongs to, and
