Memory Dependence Analysis (not mem-dep test) take advantage of "invariant.load" metadata.

The "invariant.load" metadata indicates the memory unit being accessed is immutable.
A load annotated with this metadata can be moved across any store.

As I am not sure if it is legal to move such loads across barrier/fence, this
change dose not allow such transformation.

Thank Arnold for code review.
