Re: [PATCH v2] Bluetooth: Collect kcov coverage from hci_rx_work

["Tamás Koczka" <poprdi@google.com>]

Hello Marcel,

I added some comments into the code about what the kcov_remote calls do and
why they were implemented and I also added some reasoning to the commit
message.

I did not mention in the commit but these functions only run if the kernel
is compiled with CONFIG_KCOV.

Thank you again for reviewing the patch!
