[RFC PATCH 3/4] x86: disable llvm-cov instrumentation

From: Wentao Zhang <wentaoz5 at illinois.edu>

Disable instrumentation for arch/x86/crypto/curve25519-x86_64.c. Otherwise
compilation would fail with "error: inline assembly requires more registers
than available".

Similar behavior was reported with gcov as well. See c390c452ebeb ("crypto:
x86/curve25519 - disable gcov").
