net: fix skb_ext BUILD_BUG_ON failures with GCOV
This mini-series fixes build failures in net/core/skbuff.c when the
kernel is built with CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL=y.
This is part of a larger effort to add -fprofile-update=atomic to
global CFLAGS_GCOV (posted earlier as a combined series):
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/
20260401142020.

That combined series was split per subsystem as requested by Jakub.
The companion patches are:
- iommu: use __always_inline for amdv1pt_install_leaf_entry()
(sent to iommu maintainers)
- gcov: add -fprofile-update=atomic globally (sent to gcov/kbuild
maintainers, depends on this series and the iommu patch)
Patch 1/2 fixes a pre-existing build failure with CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL:
GCOV counters prevent GCC from constant-folding the skb_ext_total_length()
loop. It also removes the CONFIG_KCOV_INSTRUMENT_ALL preprocessor guard
from
d6e5794b06c0: that guard was a precaution in case KCOV instrumentation
also prevented constant folding, but KCOV's -fsanitize-coverage=trace-pc
does not interfere with GCC's constant folding (verified experimentally
with GCC 14.2 and GCC 16.0.1), so the guard is unnecessary.
Patch 2/2 is an additional fix needed when -fprofile-update=atomic is
added to CFLAGS_GCOV: __no_profile on the __always_inline function alone
is insufficient because after inlining, the code resides in the caller's
profiled body. The caller (skb_extensions_init) needs __no_profile and
noinline to prevent re-exposure to GCOV instrumentation.
