Jin, are you ok with this? Can I have your reviewed-by?

Oh, my original patch could only handle the case like:
cmp xxx
je aaa
But it didn't consider Ravi's case something like:
cmp xxx
cmp yyy
je aaa
je bbb
Thanks for Ravi fixing this issue! Backward searching is probably a better solution.
Frankly I can't reproduce Ravi's case, but for my test suite, Ravi's patch works as well.

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. Perf annotate instruction fusion logic assumes previous
disasm_line as 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.
Before:
│ cmpq %rcx, RIP+8(%rsp)
0.00 │ cmp %rcx,0x88(%rsp)
│ je .Lerror_bad_iret <--- Source line
0.14 │ ┌──je b4 <--- Instruction line
│ │movl %ecx, %eax
After:
│ cmpq %rcx, RIP+8(%rsp)
0.00 │ ┌──cmp %rcx,0x88(%rsp)
│ │je .Lerror_bad_iret
0.14 │ ├──je b4
│ │movl %ecx, %eax
