When describing call stacks that include inlined function calls, the
runtime uses "fake" PCs to represent the frames that inlining removed.
Those PCs correspond to real NOP instructions that the compiler inserts
for this purpose.
Describing the call stack in a protobuf-formatted profile requires the
runtime/pprof package to collapse any sequences of fake call sites back
into single PCs, removing the NOPs but retaining their line info.
But because the NOP instructions are part of the function, they can
appear as leaf nodes in a CPU profile. That results in an address that
should sometimes be ignored (when it appears as a call site) and that
sometimes should be present in the profile (when it is observed
consuming CPU time).
When processing a PC address, consider it first as a fake PC to add to
the current inlining deck, and then as a previously-seen (real) PC.
