    When gcov profiling is enabled, we see a lot of spurious warnings about
    possibly uninitialized variables being used:
    
    arch/arm/mm/dma-mapping.c: In function 'arm_coherent_iommu_map_page':
    arch/arm/mm/dma-mapping.c:1085:16: warning: 'start' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
    drivers/clk/st/clk-flexgen.c: In function 'st_of_flexgen_setup':
    drivers/clk/st/clk-flexgen.c:323:9: warning: 'num_parents' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
    kernel/cgroup.c: In function 'cgroup_mount':
    kernel/cgroup.c:2119:11: warning: 'root' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
    
    All of these are false positives, so it seems better to just disable
    the warnings whenever GCOV is enabled. Most users don't enable GCOV,
    and based on a prior patch, it is now also disabled for 'allmodconfig'
    builds, so there should be no downsides of doing this.
