[llvm] [BOLT] Add 'constant island' check in scanExternalRefs to prevent a crash when the function is disassembled fail or skipped (PR #165577)

https://github.com/Jinjie-Huang created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/165577

The [previous patch](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/163418) has added a check to prevent adding an entry point into a constant island, but only for successfully disassembled functions. 

Because scanExternalRefs() is also called when a function fails to be disassembled or is skipped, it can still attempt to add an entry point at constant islands. Without a check for it, the same issue occurs.

So, this patch complements the 'constant island' check in scanExternalRefs().
