[Devel] [PATCH hci-8.1 2/2] ms/kbuild: move GCOV flags to scripts/Makefile.gcov

* split the CFLAGS_GCOV block out of the top-level Makefile into
scripts/Makefile.gcov
* include it via include-$(CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL) like neighbour
KASAN/KCOV/UBSAN makefiles do
* keep the include before scripts/Makefile.gcc-plugins: the try-run
must not get -fplugin= options, plugins do not exist on clean builds
CFLAGS_GCOV is no longer defined when CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL is off:
* its user in scripts/Makefile.lib is guarded by the CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL
* in i915/xe header an empty value is harmless
The try-run compiler invocations also stop running on builds without
GCOV.

(cherry picked from commit f541906e89f9d08ef29f058b6cef1db071cd8163)
Picked from the akpm/mm tree, branch mm-nonmm-stable: not in Linus's
tree yet.
Conflict in Makefile: the CFLAGS_GCOV block sits next to different
lines in this tree. Removed the block and kept the local context.
