perf annotate: Fix fused instr logic for assembly functions
Some x86 microarchitectures fuse a subset of cmp/test/ALU instructions with branch instructions, and thus perf annotate highlight such valid pairs as fused. When annotated with source, perf uses struct disasm_line to contain either source or instruction line from objdump output. Usually, a C statement generates multiple instructions which include such cmp/test/ALU + branch instruction pairs. But in case of assembly function, each individual assembly source line generate one instruction. The 'perf annotate' instruction fusion logic assumes the previous disasm_line as the previous instruction line, which is wrong because, for assembly function, previous disasm_line contains source line. And thus perf fails to highlight valid fused instruction pairs for assembly functions. Fix it by searching backward until we find an instruction line and consider that disasm_line as fused with current branch instruction.
