Dehao Chen 769219b11a Revive http://reviews.llvm.org/D12778 to handle forward-hot-prob and backward-hot-prob consistently. ...

Summary:
Consider the following diamond CFG:

 A
/ \
B C
 \/
 D

Suppose A->B and A->C have probabilities 81% and 19%. In block-placement, A->B is called a hot edge and the final placement should be ABDC. However, the current implementation outputs ABCD. This is because when choosing the next block of B, it checks if Freq(C->D) > Freq(B->D) * 20%, which is true (if Freq(A) = 100, then Freq(B->D) = 81, Freq(C->D) = 19, and 19 > 81*20%=16.2). Actually, we should use 25% instead of 20% as the probability here, so that we have 19 < 81*25%=20.25, and the desired ABDC layout will be generated.
