um: Disable CONFIG_GCOV with MODULES
[ Upstream commit ad3d19911632debc886ef4a992d41d6de7927006 ]
CONFIG_GCOV doesn't work with modules, and for various reasons
it cannot work, see also
https://lore.kernel.org/r/d36ea54d8c0a8dd706826ba844a6f27691f45d55.camel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Make CONFIG_GCOV depend on !MODULES to avoid anyone
running into issues there. This also means we need
not export the gcov symbols.
