Summary

Currently prof metadata with branch counts is added only for BranchInst and SwitchInst, but not for IndirectBrInst. As a result, BPI/BFI make incorrect inferences for indirect branches, which can be very hot.
This diff adds metadata for IndirectBrInst, in addition to BranchInst and SwitchInst.

Thanks for the fix, Sergey! Looking forward to more improvements on weight propagation and BFI inference. :) LGTM as well and I will push this one on your behalf.

Does llvm docs/langref need to be updated?

Does llvm docs/langref need to be updated?

prof metadata for indirected branch is supported according to the doc https://llvm.org/docs/BranchWeightMetadata.html, the change fixed an oversight in keeping such metadata. So doc should be good.
