Subject: kcov: avoid enable+disable interrupts if !in_task()

kcov_remote_start() may need to allocate memory in the in_task() case
(otherwise per-CPU memory has been pre-allocated) and therefore requires
enabled interrupts.

The interrupts are enabled before checking if the allocation is required
so if no allocation is required then the interrupts are needlessly enabled
and disabled again.

Enable interrupts only if memory allocation is performed.
