I thought about this some more after @nikic's comments and I don't think this is strong enough because the bail-out when SCCNodes.size() != 1 is of limited value. If `F` isn't internal (or private?) then it could be accessible outside the module even if the address isn't taken, and at the same time SCCNodes.size() will return 1 because SCC analysis gives up when encountering an unknown call. An example would be something like this:

a.c:
```
extern void moo();

void foo() {
  bar();
}

void bar() {
  moo();
}
```

b.c:
```
extern void foo();

void moo() {
  foo();
}
```

I think you can rewrite the code to be something like this:

```
      if (auto *CB = dyn_cast<CallBase>(&I)) {
        if (!Callee || Callee == F)
          return;

        if (Callee->doesNotRecurse())
          continue;

        LibFunc LF;
        if (Callee->isDeclaration()) {
          if (Callee->hasFnAttribute(Attribute::NoCallback) ||
              (NoFunctionsAddressIsTaken &&
               TLI.getLibFunc(Callee->getName(), LF)))
            continue;
          return;
        } else if (F->hasAddressTaken() || !F.hasLocalLinkage())
          return;
```
