Robin Morisset cc99164448 Fix MemoryDependenceAnalysis in cases where QueryInstr is a CmpXchg or a AtomicRMW
Summary:
MemoryDependenceAnalysis is currently cautious when the QueryInstr is an atomic
load or store, but I forgot to check for atomic cmpxchg/atomicrmw. This patch
is a way of fixing that, and making it less brittle (i.e. no risk that I forget
another possible kind of atomic, even if the IR ends up changing in the future),
by adding a fallback checking mayReadOrWriteFromMemory.

Thanks to Philip Reames for finding this bug and suggesting this solution in
http://reviews.llvm.org/D4845

Sadly, I don't see how to add a test for this, since the passes depending on
MemoryDependenceAnalysis won't trigger for an atomic rmw anyway. Does anyone
see a way for testing it?

Test Plan: none possible at first sight
