⚡️ Speed up method CommentMapper.visit_FunctionDef by 84% in PR #687 (granular-async-instrumentation)

The optimization replaces the expensive `ast.walk()` call with a targeted node traversal that only checks the immediate statement and its direct body children. 

**Key change:** Instead of `ast.walk(compound_line_node)` which recursively traverses the entire AST subtree, the optimized code creates a focused list:
```python
nodes_to_check = [compound_line_node]
nodes_to_check.extend(getattr(compound_line_node, 'body', []))
```

This dramatically reduces the number of nodes processed in the inner loop. The line profiler shows `ast.walk()` was the major bottleneck (46.2% of total time, 8.23ms), while the optimized version's equivalent loop takes only 1.9% of total time (180μs).

**Why this works:** The code only needs to check statements at the current level and one level deep (direct children in compound statement bodies like `for`, `if`, `while`, `with`). The original `ast.walk()` was doing unnecessary deep traversal of nested structures.

**Performance impact:** The optimization is most effective for test cases with compound statements (for/while/if/with blocks) containing multiple nested nodes, showing 73-156% speedups in those scenarios. Simple statement functions see smaller but consistent 1-3% improvements due to reduced overhead.
