When a sample was come from a conditional branch without a memory
operand, it could be due to a macro fusion with a previous instruction.
So it needs to check the memory operand in the previous one.

This improves the stat like below:

  Annotate data type stats:
  total 294, ok 147 (50.0%), bad 147 (50.0%)
  -----------------------------------------------------------
          30 : no_sym
          32 : no_mem_ops
          71 : no_var
           6 : no_typeinfo
           8 : bad_offset
