Juergen Ributzka b2bd7e89e6 [TBAA] Fix handling of mixed TBAA (path-aware and non-path-aware TBAA).
This fix simply ensures that both metadata nodes are path-aware before
performing path-aware alias analysis.

This issue isn't normally triggered in LLVM, because we perform an autoupgrade
of the TBAA metadata to the new format when reading in LL or BC files. This
issue only appears when a client creates the IR manually and mixes old and new
TBAA metadata format.

This fixes <rdar://problem/16760860>.

In test/Transforms/LoopStrengthReduce/quadradic-exit-value.ll, the
ScalarEvolution expression for %r is this:

  {1,+,3,+,2}<loop>

Outside the loop, this could be evaluated simply as (%n * %n), however
ScalarEvolution currently evaluates it as

  (-2 + (2 * (trunc i65 (((zext i64 (-2 + %n) to i65) * (zext i64 (-1 + %n) to i65)) /u 2) to i64)) + (3 * %n))

In addition to being much more complicated, it involves i65 arithmetic,
which is very inefficient when expanded into code.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

In formatValue in test/CodeGen/X86/lsr-delayed-fold.ll,

ScalarEvolution is forming this expression:

((trunc i64 (-1 * %arg5) to i32) + (trunc i64 %arg5 to i32) + (-1 * (trunc i64 undef to i32)))

This could be folded to

(-1 * (trunc i64 undef to i32))
