Currently, neither the exception entry packet nor the exception return packet isn't used to generate samples; so the exception packet is only used as an affiliate packet, and the exception sample flag is assigned to its previous range packet, this is finished in the function cs_etm__set_sample_flags(). This patch moves the exception sample flag assignment from cs_etm__set_sample_flags() to cs_etm__exception(), essentially it defers to assign exception sample flag to the previous range packet, thus this gives us a chance to keep the previous range packet's original sample flag. So this patch is only a preparation for later patches and doesn't include any change for the functionality; based on it, we can add extra processing between the exception packet and its previous range packet. To reduce the indenting, this patch bails out directly at the entry of cs_etm__exception() if detects the previous packet is not a range packet.
