[llvm-profgen] Ignore broken LBR samples

Perf script can sometimes give disordered LBR samples like below.

 Note that the last LBR record `0x2a0b7a4a/0x2aWarning:` . Currently llvm-profgen does not detect that and as a result an uninitialized branch target value will be used. The uninitialized value can cause creepy instruction ranges created which which in turn will result in a completely wrong profile. An example is like
