Sanjay Patel f664f3a578 [DAG] Remove redundant FMUL in Newton-Raphson SQRT code
When calculating a square root using Newton-Raphson with two constants,
a naive implementation is to use five multiplications (four muls to calculate
reciprocal square root and another one to calculate the square root itself).
However, after some reassociation and CSE the same result can be obtained
with only four multiplications. Unfortunately, there's no reliable way to do
such a reassociation in the back-end. So, the patch modifies NR code itself
so that it directly builds optimal code for SQRT and doesn't rely on any
further reassociation.
