For ARC700, adding padding if necessary to avoid a mispredict.  A
return could happen immediately after the function start.  A
call/return and return/return must be 6 bytes apart to avoid
mispredict.

The old implementation was doing this operation very late in the
compilation process, and the additional nop instructions and/or
forcing some other instruction to take their long form was not taken
into account when generating brcc instructions. Thus, wrong code could
be generated.
