The C and C++ semantics for compare_exchange require it to return a bool
indicating success. This gets mapped to LLVM IR which follows each cmpxchg with
an icmp of the value loaded against the desired value.
When lowered to ldxr/stxr loops, this extra comparison is redundant: its
results are implicit in the control-flow of the function.
This commit makes two changes: it replaces that icmp with appropriate PHI
nodes, and then makes sure earlyCSE is called after expansion to actually make
use of the opportunities revealed.
I've also added -{arm,aarch64}-enable-atomic-tidy options, so that
existing fragile tests aren't perturbed too much by the change. Many
of them either rely on undef/unreachable too pervasively to be
restored to something well-defined (particularly while making sure
they test the same obscure assert from many years ago), or depend on a
particular CFG shape, which is disrupted by SimplifyCFG.

For now, we just reschedule instructions that use the copied vregs and
let regalloc elliminate it. I would really like to eliminate the
copies on-the-fly during scheduling, but we need a complete
implementation of repairIntervalsInRange() first.
The general strategy is for the register coalescer to eliminate as
many global copies as possible and shrink live ranges to be
extended-basic-block local. The coalescer should not have to worry
about resolving local copies (e.g. it shouldn't attemp to reorder
instructions). The scheduler is a much better place to deal with local
interference. The coalescer side of this equation needs work.
