Stephan Herhut 7a76e6d36c Reduce false-positives in profiler tick filtering
When collecting stack frame information during a profiler tick event, we
apply a filter on the instructions at the current pc to avoid collecting
(wrong) stack frames while a frame is being setup/torn down. While this
detection makes sense for compiled JavaScript code, it also filters out
ticks in the C++ code base of v8.

This change only applies the filter if the pc lies within a region that
could potentially contain compiled JavaScript code.
