Fred Riss ecc6c42697 [lldb/testsuite] Fix TestInlineStepping on arm64 with newer compilers ...

Summary:
TestInlineStepping tests LLDB's ability to step in the presence of
inline frames. The testcase source has a number of functions and some
of them are marked `always_inline`.

The test is built around the assumption that the inline function will
be fully represented once inlined, but this is not true with the
current arm64 code generation. For example:

void caller() {
     always_inline_function(); // Step here
}

When stppeing into `caller()` above, you might immediatly end up in
the inlines frame for `always_inline_function()`, because there might
literally be no code associated with `caller()` itself.

This patch hacks around the issue by adding an `asm volatile("nop")`
on some lines with inlined calls where we expect to be able to
step. Like so:

void caller() {
     asm volatile("nop"); always_inline_function(); // Step here
}

This guarantees there is always going to be one instruction for this
line in the caller.
