Subject: [PATCH 2/2] arch/x86/tools/objdump_reformat.awk: Allow for spaces

objdump and llvm-objdump have differing output formats. Specifically,
objump will format its output as: address:<tab>hex, whereas
llvm-objdump displays its output as address:<space>hex.

objdump_reformat.awk incorrectly handles this discrepancy due to
the unexpected space and as a result insn_decoder_test fails, as
 its input is garbled.

This patch ensures that the instruction line being tokenized can
support either a space and colon, or tab delimiter.
