Subject: [committed] fix IA-64 as infinite loop with bad input

This is a fix for PR 1889.  Given a template, and an insn that did not
fit into that template, IA-64 gas was going into an infinite loop.  This
can be reproduced with a simple two line testcase.
        .mmi
        br.call.sptk.many b0 = splay_tree_new#
We already have code to check for this, but it was only enabled when
manual_bundling was true.  We just need to enable it always.

The following patch fixes the problem, and has been regression tested
with an ia64-linux make check.
