Under normal circumstances we prefer the higher performance MOVD to extract the 0'th element of a v8i16 vector instead of PEXTRW.
But as detailed on PR27265, this prevents the SSE41 implementation of PEXTRW from folding the store of the 0'th element. Additionally it prevents us from making use of the fact that the (SSE2) reg-reg version of PEXTRW implicitly zero-extends the i16 element to the i32/i64 destination register.
This patch only preferentially lowers to MOVD if we will not be zero-extending the extracted i16, nor prevent a store from being folded (on SSSE41).
Fix for PR27265.

which have successfully round-tripped through the combine phase, and use
this to ensure all operands to DAG nodes are visited by the combiner,
even if they are only added during the combine phase.
This is critical to have the combiner reach nodes that are *introduced*
during combining. Previously these would sometimes be visited and
sometimes not be visited based on whether they happened to end up on the
worklist or not. Now we always run them through the combiner.
This fixes quite a few bad codegen test cases lurking in the suite while
also being more principled. Among these, the TLS codegeneration is
particularly exciting for programs that have this in the critical path
like TSan-instrumented binaries (although I think they engineer to use
a different TLS that is faster anyways).
I've tried to check for compile-time regressions here by running llc
over a merged (but not LTO-ed) clang bitcode file and observed at most
a 3% slowdown in llc. Given that this is essentially a worst case (none
of opt or clang are running at this phase) I think this is tolerable.
The actual LTO case should be even less costly, and the cost in normal
compilation should be negligible.
With this combining logic, it is possible to re-legalize as we combine
which is necessary to implement PSHUFB formation on x86 as
a post-legalize DAG combine (my ultimate goal).
