Oliver Stannard 7c40b1a7bc Fix assertion failure in global-merge with unused ConstantExpr ...

The global-merge pass was crashing because it assumes that all ConstantExprs
(reached via the global variables that they use) have at least one user.

I haven't worked out a way to test this, as an unused ConstantExpr cannot be
represented by serialised IR, and global-merge can only be run in llc, which
does not run any passes which can make a ConstantExpr dead.

This (reduced to the point of silliness) C code triggers this bug when compiled
for arm-none-eabi at -O1:

  static a = 7;
  static volatile b[10] = {&a};

  c;
  main() {
    c = 0;
    for (; c < 10;)
      printf(b[c]);
  }
