An identity COPY like this:
%AL = COPY %AL, %EAX<imp-def>
has no semantic effect, but encodes liveness information: Further users
of %EAX only depend on this instruction even though it does not define
the full register.
Replace the COPY with a KILL instruction in those cases to maintain this
liveness information. (This reverts a small part of r238588 but this
time adds a comment explaining why a KILL instruction is useful).

Re-apply r265450 which caused PR27245 and was reverted in r265559
because of a wrong generalization: the fetch_and_add->add_and_fetch
combine only works in specific, but pretty common, cases:
(icmp slt x, 0) -> (icmp sle (add x, 1), 0)
(icmp sge x, 0) -> (icmp sgt (add x, 1), 0)
(icmp sle x, 0) -> (icmp slt (sub x, 1), 0)
(icmp sgt x, 0) -> (icmp sge (sub x, 1), 0)
Original Message:
We only generate LOCKed versions of add/sub when the result is unused.
It often happens that the result is used, but only by a comparison. We
can optimize those out by reusing EFLAGS, which lets us use the proper
instructions, instead of having to fallback to LXADD.
Instead of doing this as an MI peephole (as we do for the other
non-LOCKed (really, non-MR) forms), do it in ISel. It becomes quite
tricky later.
This also makes it eventually possible to stop expanding and/or/xor
if the only user is an icmp (also see D18141).
This uses the LOCK ISD opcodes added by r262244.
