[BOLT] Gadget scanner: do not crash on debug-printing CFI instructions

atrosinenko · atrosinenko · commit 992e377b78bd · 2025-04-29T20:31:51.000+03:00
Some instruction-printing code used under LLVM_DEBUG does not handle CFI
instructions well. While CFI instructions seem to be harmless for the
correctness of the analysis results, they do not convey any useful
information to the analysis either, so skip them early.
