  [BOLT][AArch64] Fix instrumentation deadloop

According to ARMv8-a architecture reference manual B2.10.5 software
must avoid having any explicit memory accesses between exclusive load
and associated store instruction. Otherwise exclusive monitor might
clear the exclusivity without application-related cause which may
result in the deadloop. Disable instrumentation for such functions,
since between exclusive load and store there might be branches and we
would insert instrumentation snippet which contains loads and stores.

The better solution would be to analyze with BFS finding the exact BBs
between load and store and not instrumenting them. Or even better to
recognize such sequences and replace them with more complex one, e.g.
loading value non exclusively, and for the brach where exclusive store
is made make exclusive load and store sequentially, but for now just
disable instrumentation for such functions completely.
