CONFIG_GCOV_FORMAT_3_4 / _4_7 / _AUTODETECT are exclusive.
Compare the CC version only when _AUTODETECT is enabled.
This change should have no impact.

Kbuild descends into kernel/gcov/ directory only when
CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL is enabled. (See kernel/Makefile)
CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL check can be omitted in kernel/gcov/Makefile.

Since commit 371fdc77af (kbuild: collect shorthands into
scripts/Kbuild.include), scripts/Makefile.clean includes
scripts/Kbuild.include.
The workaround and the comment block in kernel/gcov/Makefile
are no longer necessary.

The macros cc-version, cc-fullversion and ld-version take no argument.
It is not necessary to add $(call ...) to invoke them.

Enable the use of GCC's coverage testing tool gcov [1] with the Linux
kernel. gcov may be useful for:
* debugging (has this code been reached at all?)
* test improvement (how do I change my test to cover these lines?)
* minimizing kernel configurations (do I need this option if the
associated code is never run?)
The profiling patch incorporates the following changes:
* change kbuild to include profiling flags
* provide functions needed by profiling code
* present profiling data as files in debugfs
Note that on some architectures, enabling gcc's profiling option
"-fprofile-arcs" for the entire kernel may trigger compile/link/
run-time problems, some of which are caused by toolchain bugs and
others which require adjustment of architecture code.
For this reason profiling the entire kernel is initially restricted
to those architectures for which it is known to work without changes.
This restriction can be lifted once an architecture has been tested
and found compatible with gcc's profiling. Profiling of single files
or directories is still available on all platforms (see config help
text).
