coverage: Add coverage_try_clear() for performance-critical threads.
For performance-critical threads like pmd threads, we currently make them never call coverage_clear() to avoid contention over the global mutex 'coverage_mutex'. So, even though pmd thread still keeps updating their thread-local coverage count, the count is never attributed to the global total. But it is useful to have them available. This commit makes this happen by implementing a non-contending version of the clear function, coverage_try_clear(). The function will use the ovs_mutex_trylock() and return immediately if the mutex cannot be acquired. Since threads like pmd thread are always busy-looping, the lock will eventually be acquired.
