[llvm] [RISCV] Simplify interface of RISCVAsmPrinter::lowerToMCInst [nfc] (PR #156482)

[Philip Reames via llvm-commits]

https://github.com/preames created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/156482

The only case which returns true is just pypassing this routine for custom logic.  Given the caller *already* has to special case this to even fall into this routine, let's just put the logic in one place.

Note that the code had a guard for a malformed attribute which is unreachable, and was converted into an assert.  The verifier enforces that the function attribute is well formed if present.

Subject: [PATCH] [RISCV] Simplify interface of RISCVAsmPrinter::lowerToMCInst
 [nfc]

The only case which returns true is just pypassing this routine
for custom logic.  Given the caller *already* has to special case
this to even fall into this routine, let's just put the logic in
one place.

Note that the code had a guard for a malformed attribute which
is unreachable, and was converted into an assert.  The verifier
enforces that the function attribute is well formed if present.
