UMLs current_thread_info() unconditionally assumes that the top of the stack
contains the thread_info structure. But on UML the __sanitizer_cov_trace_pc
function is called for *all* functions! This results in an early crash:
Prevent kcov from using invalid curent_thread_info() data by checking
the system_state.
