Some conditional branch instructions generated by this pass are checking
the wrong condition code. The instructions TBZ and TBNZ are transformed
into B.GE and B.LT instead of B.PL and B.MI respectively. They should
only be checking the Negative bit.

This patch contains a pass that transforms CBZ/CBNZ/TBZ/TBNZ instructions into a
conditional branch (Bcc), when the NZCV flags can be set for "free". This is
preferred on targets that have more flexibility when scheduling Bcc
instructions as compared to CBZ/CBNZ/TBZ/TBNZ (assuming all other variables are
equal). This can reduce register pressure and is also the default behavior for
GCC.
A few examples:
add w8, w0, w1 -> cmn w0, w1 ; CMN is an alias of ADDS.
cbz w8, .LBB_2 -> b.eq .LBB0_2 ; single def/use of w8 removed.
add w8, w0, w1 -> adds w8, w0, w1 ; w8 has multiple uses.
cbz w8, .LBB1_2 -> b.eq .LBB1_2
sub w8, w0, w1 -> subs w8, w0, w1 ; w8 has multiple uses.
tbz w8, #31, .LBB6_2 -> b.ge .LBB6_2
In looking at all current sub-target machine descriptions, this transformation
appears to be either positive or neutral.
