[PATCH v2 16/16] kcov: update kcov to use mmap_prepare

We can use the mmap insert pages functionality provided for use in
mmap_prepare to insert the kcov pages as required.
This does necessitate an allocation, but since it's in the mmap path this
doesn't seem egregious. The allocation/freeing of the pages array is
handled automatically by vma_desc_set_mixedmap_pages() and the mapping
logic.
