Bug #12082: Tail-calling method can't catch exception raised by tail-called method
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/12082

* Author: Kazuki Yamaguchi

----------------------------------------
The following code doesn't work as expected, on all versions of Ruby with tail call optimization (1.9.1 to 2.3.0).

~~~ruby
def do_raise
  raise "should be rescued"
end
options = {
  tailcall_optimization: true,
  trace_instruction: false,
}
RubyVM::InstructionSequence.compile(<<EOF, __FILE__, __FILE__, __LINE__, options).eval
  def test_rescue
    return do_raise
    1 + 2
  rescue
    :ok
  end
EOF

p test_rescue # should print :ok, but raises "should be rescued"
~~~

Looks like `nop` instruction is (also) used to avoid this optimization ([compile.c](https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/1282a4a/compile.c#L4321)), but when doing early return, no `nop` is inserted.

I attached a (dirty) fix for this. Maybe there is a cleaner way.
