This reverts commit r243167.
Duncan pointed out that dyn_cast can return null in these cases, so this
was an unsafe commit to make. Sorry for the noise.
Worryingly there were no tests which fail...
llvm-svn: 243302
Since both places which set this variable do so with dyn_cast, and not
dyn_cast_or_null, its impossible to get a nullptr here, so we can remove
the check.

Passes should never modify it, just use the const version. While there
reduce copying in LoopInterchange. No functional change intended.

A reduction is a special kind of recurrence. In the loop vectorizer we currently
identify basic reductions. Future patches will extend this to identifying basic
recurrences.

Specifically this:
* Prevents an "unused" warning in non-assert builds.
* In that error case return with out removing a child loop instead of
looping forever.

This pass interchanges loops to provide a more cache-friendly memory access.
For e.g. given a loop like -
for(int i=0;i<N;i++)
for(int j=0;j<N;j++)
A[j][i] = A[j][i]+B[j][i];
is interchanged to -
for(int j=0;j<N;j++)
for(int i=0;i<N;i++)
A[j][i] = A[j][i]+B[j][i];
This pass is currently disabled by default.
To give a brief introduction it consists of 3 stages-
LoopInterchangeLegality : Checks the legality of loop interchange based on Dependency matrix.
LoopInterchangeProfitability: A very basic heuristic has been added to check for profitibility. This will evolve over time.
LoopInterchangeTransform : Which does the actual transform.
LNT Performance tests shows improvement in Polybench/linear-algebra/kernels/mvt and Polybench/linear-algebra/kernels/gemver becnmarks.
TODO:
1) Add support for reductions and lcssa phi.
2) Improve profitability model.
3) Improve loop selection algorithm to select best loop for interchange. Currently the innermost loop is selected for interchange.
4) Improve compile time regression found in llvm lnt due to this pass.
5) Fix issues in Dependency Analysis module.
A special thanks to Hal for reviewing this code.
