The ARM backend can eliminate cmp instructions by reusing flags from a
nearby sub instruction with similar arguments.
Don't do that if the sub is predicated - the flags are not written
unconditionally.

It is safe if CPSR is killed or re-defined.
When we are done with the basic block, check whether CPSR is live-out.
Do not optimize away cmp if CPSR is live-out.

More condition codes are included when deciding whether to remove cmp after
a sub instruction. Specifically, we extend from GE|LT|GT|LE to
GE|LT|GT|LE|HS|LS|HI|LO|EQ|NE. If we have "sub a, b; cmp b, a; movhs", we
should be able to replace with "sub a, b; movls".

This patch will optimize the following cases:
sub r1, r3 | sub r1, imm
cmp r3, r1 or cmp r1, r3 | cmp r1, imm
bge L1
TO
subs r1, r3
bge L1 or ble L1
If the branch instruction can use flag from "sub", then we can replace
"sub" with "subs" and eliminate the "cmp" instruction.
