Summary: SampleProfile pass needs to be performed after InstructionCombiningPass, which helps eliminate un-inlinable function calls.

The existing coverage tracker counts the number of records that were used
from the input profile. An alternative view of coverage is to check how
many available samples were applied.
This way, if the profile contains several records with few samples, it
doesn't really matter much that they were not applied. The more
interesting records to apply are the ones that contribute many samples.

If a function was originally inlined but not actually hot at runtime,
its samples will not be counted inside the parent function. This throws
off the coverage calculation because it expects to find more used
records than it should.
Fixed by ignoring functions that will not be inlined into the parent.
Currently, this is inlined functions with 0 samples. In subsequent
patches, I'll change this to mean "cold" functions.
