kcov: kmsan: unpoison area->list in kcov_remote_area_put()

KMSAN does not instrument kernel/kcov.c for performance reasons (with
CONFIG_KCOV=y virtually every place in the kernel invokes kcov
instrumentation).  Therefore the tool may miss writes from kcov.c that
initialize memory.

When CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST is enabled, list pointers from kernel/kcov.c are
passed to instrumented helpers in lib/list_debug.c, resulting in false
positives.

To work around these reports, we unpoison the contents of area->list after
initializing it.
