Summary:
If an induction variable is frozen and used, SCEV yields imprecise result
because it doesn't say anything about frozen variables.
Due to this reason, performance degradation happened after
https://reviews.llvm.org/D76483 is merged, causing
SCEV yield imprecise result and preventing LSR to optimize a loop.
The suggested solution here is to add a pass which canonicalizes frozen variables
inside a loop. To be specific, it pushes freezes out of the loop by freezing
the initial value and step values instead & dropping nsw/nuw flags from instructions used by freeze.
This solution was also mentioned at https://reviews.llvm.org/D70623 .
