net: switch to storing KCOV handle directly in sk_buff

Browse source

It turns out that usage of skb extensions can cause memory leaks. Ido
Schimmel reported: "[...] there are instances that blindly overwrite
'skb->extensions' by invoking skb_copy_header() after __alloc_skb()."

Therefore, give up on using skb extensions for KCOV handle, and instead
directly store kcov_handle in sk_buff.

Fixes: 6370cc3bbd ("net: add kcov handle to skb extensions")
Fixes: 85ce50d337 ("net: kcov: don't select SKB_EXTENSIONS when there is no NET")
Fixes: 97f53a08cb ("net: linux/skbuff.h: combine SKB_EXTENSIONS + KCOV handling")
