The point of that condition is to avoid unnecessary allocations of skb extension
objects. At the same time, one would expect skb_get_kcov_handle to return the
latest value that was set via skb_set_kcov_handle. So if a buffer already has a
non-zero kcov_handle and skb_set_kcov_handle is called to set it to zero, it
should be set to zero.

Yes, thank you for pointing it out. I’ll fix it in the next version.
