Subject: kcov: properly check if we are in an interrupt

in_interrupt() returns a nonzero value when we are either in an interrupt
or have bh disabled via local_bh_disable().  Since we are interested in
only ignoring coverage from actual interrupts, do a proper check instead
of just calling in_interrupt().
