Soham Bagchi 1455b6ac21 kcov: load acquire coverage count in user-space code
Update the KCOV documentation to use a load-acquire operation for the
first element of the shared memory buffer between kernel-space and
user-space.

The load-acquire pairs with the write memory barrier used in
kcov_move_area().
