Subject: [PATCH] [lldb] Fix OP_deref evaluation for large integer results

When evaluating any DWARF expression that ended in OP_deref and whose
previous value on the dwarf stack -- the pointer address for the deref
-- was a load address, we were treating the result itself as a pointer,
calling Process:FixCodeAddress(result). This is wrong: there's no
guarantee that the result is a pointer itself.
