Summary:
Loop unswitch hoists branches on loop-invariant conditions. However, if this
condition is poison/undef and the branch wasn't originally reachable, loop
unswitch introduces UB (since the optimized code will branch on poison/undef and
the original one didn't)).
We fix this problem by freezing the condition to ensure we don't introduce UB.
We will now transform the following:
while (...) {
if (C) { A }
else { B }
}
Into:
C' = freeze(C)
if (C') {
while (...) { A }
} else {
while (...) { B }
}
This patch fixes the root cause of the following bug reports (which use the old loop unswitch, but can be reproduced with minor changes in the code and -enable-nontrivial-unswitch):

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

Add '-k 1' to 'sort -b' calls in SimpleLoopUnswitch tests, as required
for sort implementation on NetBSD. The '-b' modifier is ineffective
if specified without any key. Per the manpage:
Note that the -b option has no effect unless key fields are specified.

We need to control exponential behavior of loop-unswitch so we do not get
run-away compilation.
Suggested solution is to introduce a multiplier for an unswitch cost that
makes cost prohibitive as soon as there are too many candidates and too
many sibling loops (meaning we have already started duplicating loops
by unswitching).
It does solve the currently known problem with compile-time degradation
(PR 39544).
Tests are built on top of a recently implemented CHECK-COUNT-<num>
FileCheck directives.
