[merged] kcov-properly-check-if-we-are-in-an-interrupt.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     Subject: kcov: properly check if we are in an interrupt
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     kcov-properly-check-if-we-are-in-an-interrupt.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
From: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@google.com>
Subject: kcov: properly check if we are in an interrupt

in_interrupt() returns a nonzero value when we are either in an
interrupt or have bh disabled via local_bh_disable().  Since we are
interested in only ignoring coverage from actual interrupts, do a
proper check instead of just calling in_interrupt().

As a result of this change, kcov will start to collect coverage from
within local_bh_disable()/local_bh_enable() sections.
