Subject: [PATCH] [lldb] Fix stepping out if the return address is not allowed
 to stop at

When a thread reaches a breakpoint at the return address set by
`ThreadPlanStepOut`, `ThreadPlanStepOut::ShouldStop()` calls
`ThreadPlanShouldStopHere::InvokeShouldStopHereCallback()`, and if it
returns `false`, `ThreadPlanShouldStopHere::QueueStepOutFromHerePlan()`
is called to queue a new plan to skip the corresponding range. Once the
new plan finishes, `ThreadPlanStepOut::ShouldStop()` should recheck the
stop condition; however, there is no branch that sets `done` to `true`.
Before #126838, the method checked if it had reached a suitable frame.
After the patch, the check is only performed at a breakpoint; thus, the
execution continues.

This patch causes `ThreadPlanStepOut::ShouldStop()` to recheck the stop
condition when `m_step_out_further_plan_sp` completes.
