gcov: add support for GCC 4.9

This patch handles the gcov-related changes in GCC 4.9: A new counter (time profile) is added. The total number is 9 now. A new profile merge function __gcov_merge_time_profile is added. See gcc/gcov-io.h and libgcc/libgcov-merge.c For the first change, the layout of struct gcov_info is affected. For the second one, a dummy function is added to kernel/gcov/base.c similarly.
