AutoFDO sometimes has 0 profile in the loop's entry block because the
debug info are lost and unrecoverable.

E.g.

if (a)
  if (b)
    for () {}

This patch checks if the scale factor is 0, then use the normal scale.

Bootstrapped and passed regression test and performance test.

OK for google-4_8?

Thanks,
Dehao

Is that a separate problem to track and fix?


Also is it better to do a round of loop profiling smoothing after auto
profile annotation to eliminate the insanity?

As discussed offline, will commit this patch first, and think of other
smoothing algorithm to prevent profile insanity.
