[Lldb-commits] [lldb] [lldb] Adjust the for loop condition to prevent unintended increments in ExpandRLE (NFC) (PR #94844)

This PR address the issue reported by static analyser cppcheck regarding 
missing bounds check for extra iterator increment in a loop. This could lead to 
accessing out-of-bounds memory. 
To fix this we have adjusted the loop conditions to not incrementing iterator c 
there.
