Yeah! I found that this part is tested in the test_progs/reg_bounds_crafted
too, and this commit failed that test case, which I should fix in the next
version.

Will such a case happen? In current code path, the src reg is a const,
and the is_branch_taken() will return 0 or 1 if the
dst_reg->s32_min_value == dst_reg->s32_max_value.

Enn......maybe we can do more checking here in case that someone
calls this function in another place.

Thanks!
