Fix PR8728, a miscompilation I recently introduced. When optimizing

memcpy's like:
  memcpy(A, B)
  memcpy(A, C)

we cannot delete the first memcpy as dead if A and C might be aliases.
If so, we actually get:

  memcpy(A, B)
  memcpy(A, A)

which is not correct to transform into:

  memcpy(A, A)

This patch was heavily influenced by Jakub Staszak's patch in PR8728, thanks
Jakub!
