Pseudo probe distribution factor is used to scale down profile samples to avoid misleading the counts inference due to the usage of "maximum" in `getBlockWeight`. For callsites, the scaling down can come from code duplication prior to the sample profile loader (prelink or postlink), or due to the indirect call promotion in sample loader inliner. This patch fixes an issue in sample loader ICP where the leftover indirect callsite scaling down causes the loss of non-promoted call target samples unexpectedly. While the scaling down is to favor BFI/BPI with accurate an callsite count, it doesn't fit in the current distribution factor that represents code duplication changes. Ideally, we would need two factors, one is for code duplication, the other is for ICP. However this seems over complicated. I'm going to trade one usage (callsite counts) for the other (call target counts).
Seeing perf win on one benchmark (mcf) of SPEC2017 with others unchanged.

We see a regression related to low probe factor(0.01) which prevents some callsites being promoted in ICPPass and later cause the missing inline in CGSCC inliner. The root cause is due to redundant(the second) multiplication of the probe factor and this change try to fix it.
`Sum` does multiply a factor right after findCallSamples but later when using as the parameter in setProbeDistributionFactor, it multiplies one again.
This change could get ~2% perf back on mcf benchmark. In mcf, previously the corresponding factor is 1 and it's the recent feature introducing the <1 factor then trigger this bug.
