Nick Desaulniers 4331f19d8b [ISEL][BitTestBlock] omit additional bit test when default destination is unreachable
Otherwise we end up with an extra conditional jump, following by an
unconditional jump off the end of a function. ie.

  bb.0:
    BT32rr ..
    JCC_1 %bb.4 ...
  bb.1:
    BT32rr ..
    JCC_1 %bb.2 ...
    JMP_1 %bb.3
  bb.2:
    ...
  bb.3.unreachable:
  bb.4:
    ...

  Should be equivalent to:
  bb.0:
    BT32rr ..
    JCC_1 %bb.4 ...
    JMP_1 %bb.2
  bb.1:
  bb.2:
    ...
  bb.3.unreachable:
  bb.4:
    ...

This can occur since at the higher level IR (Instruction) SwitchInsts
are required to have BBs for default destinations, even when it can be
deduced that such BBs are unreachable.

For most programs, this isn't an issue, just wasted instructions since the
unreachable has been statically proven.

The x86_64 Linux kernel when built with CONFIG_LTO_CLANG_THIN=y fails to
boot though once D106056 is re-applied.  D106056 makes it more likely
that correlation-propagation (CVP) can deduce that the default case of
SwitchInsts are unreachable. The x86_64 kernel uses a binary post
processor called objtool, which emits this warning:

vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: cfg80211_edmg_chandef_valid()+0x169: can't
find jump dest instruction at .text.cfg80211_edmg_chandef_valid+0x17b

I haven't debugged precisely why this causes a failure at boot time, but
fixing this very obvious jump off the end of the function fixes the
warning and boot problem.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
================================

This directory and its subdirectories contain source code for LLVM,
a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers,
optimizers, and runtime environments.

LLVM is open source software. You may freely distribute it under the terms of
the license agreement found in LICENSE.txt.

Please see the documentation provided in docs/ for further
assistance with LLVM, and in particular docs/GettingStarted.rst for getting
started with LLVM and docs/README.txt for an overview of LLVM's
documentation setup.

If you are writing a package for LLVM, see docs/Packaging.rst for our
suggestions.
