Subject: [PATCH 1/2] [Codegen][X86] Fix /hotpatch with clang-cl and inline asm

This fixes an edge case where functions starting with inline assembly would
assert while trying to lower that inline asm instruction.

After this commit, for now we always add 2 NOPs without considering the size
of the next inline asm instruction. We might want to revisit this in the
future.

This fixes Unreal Engine 5.3.2 compilation with clang-cl and /HOTPATCH.

Should close https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/56234
