The Clang backtrace code dereferences the link register value pulled
from the stack to decide whether the caller was a branch-and-link
instruction, in order to subsequently decode the offset to find the
start of the calling function. Unlike other loads in this routine, this
one is not protected by a fixup, and may therefore cause a crash if the
address in question is bogus.

So let's fix this, by treating the fault as a failure to decode the 'bl'
instruction. To avoid a label renum, reuse a fixup label that guards an
instruction that cannot fault to begin with.
