kcov: kmsan: unpoison area->list in kcov_remote_area_put()
KMSAN does not instrument kernel/kcov.c for performance reasons (with CONFIG_KCOV=y virtually every place in the kernel invokes kcov instrumentation). Therefore the tool may miss writes from kcov.c that initialize memory. When CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST is enabled, list pointers from kernel/kcov.c are passed to instrumented helpers in lib/list_debug.c, resulting in false positives. To work around these reports, we unpoison the contents of area->list after initializing it.
