[PATCH] perf scripts python arm-cs-trace-disasm.py: Skip disasm if address continuity is broken

To generate the instruction tracing, script uses 2 contiguous packets
address range. If there a continuity brake due to discontiguous branch
address, it is required to reset the tracing and start tracing with the
new set of contiguous packets.

Adding change to identify the break and complete the remaining tracing
of current packets and restart tracing from new set of packets, if
continuity is established.
