When InstCombine initially populates the worklist, it already
performs constant folding and DCE. However, as the instructions
are initially visited in program order, this DCE can pick up only
the last instruction of a dead chain, the rest would only get
picked up in the main InstCombine run.
To avoid this, we instead perform the DCE in separate pass over the
collected instructions in reverse order, which will allow us to
pick up full dead instruction chains. We already need to do this
reverse iteration anyway to populate the worklist, so this
shouldn't add extra cost.
This by itself only fixes a small part of the problem though:
The same basic issue also applies during the main InstCombine loop.
We generally always want DCE to occur as early as possible,
because it will allow one-use folds to happen. Address this by also
performing DCE while adding deferred instructions to the main worklist.
This drops the number of tests that perform more than 2 InstCombine
iterations from ~80 to ~40. There's some spurious test changes due
to operand order / icmp toggling.

As it's causing some bot failures (and per request from kbarton).
This reverts commit r358543/ab70da07286e618016e78247e4a24fcb84077fda.

Summary:
Currently merge conditional stores can't handle cases where PostBB (the block we need to move the store to) has more than 2 predecessors.
This patch removes that restriction by creating a new block with only the 2 predecessors we care about and an unconditional branch to the original block. This provides a place to put the store.

Currently we choose PostBB as the single successor of QFB, but its possible that QTB's single successor is QFB which would make QFB the correct choice.

One potential way to make InstCombine (very slightly?) faster is to recycle instructions
when possible instead of creating new ones. It's not explicitly stated AFAIK, but we don't
consider this an "InstSimplify". We could, however, make a new layer to house transforms
like this if that makes InstCombine more manageable (just throwing out an idea; not sure
how much opportunity is actually here).

In conditional store merging, we were creating PHIs when we didn't
need to. If the value to be predicated isn't defined in the block
we're predicating, then it doesn't need a PHI at all (because we only
deal with triangles and diamonds, any value not in the predicated BB
must dominate the predicated BB).
This fixes a large code size increase in some benchmarks in a popular embedded benchmark suite.

We can often end up with conditional stores that cannot be speculated. They can come from fairly simple, idiomatic code:
if (c & flag1)
*a = x;
if (c & flag2)
*a = y;
...
There is no dominating or post-dominating store to a, so it is not legal to move the store unconditionally to the end of the sequence and cache the intermediate result in a register, as we would like to.
It is, however, legal to merge the stores together and do the store once:
tmp = undef;
if (c & flag1)
tmp = x;
if (c & flag2)
tmp = y;
if (c & flag1 || c & flag2)
*a = tmp;
The real power in this optimization is that it allows arbitrary length ladders such as these to be completely and trivially if-converted. The typical code I'd expect this to trigger on often uses binary-AND with constants as the condition (as in the above example), which means the ending condition can simply be truncated into a single binary-AND too: 'if (c & (flag1|flag2))'. As in the general case there are bitwise operators here, the ladder can often be optimized further too.
This optimization involves potentially increasing register pressure. Even in the simplest case, the lifetime of the first predicate is extended. This can be elided in some cases such as using binary-AND on constants, but not in the general case. Threading 'tmp' through all branches can also increase register pressure.
The optimization as in this patch is enabled by default but kept in a very conservative mode. It will only optimize if it thinks the resultant code should be if-convertable, and additionally if it can thread 'tmp' through at least one existing PHI, so it will only ever in the worst case create one more PHI and extend the lifetime of a predicate.
This doesn't trigger much in LNT, unfortunately, but it does trigger in a big way in a third party test suite.
