84c5eed15b This patch combines several changes from Evan Cheng for rdar://8659675.
Making use of VFP / NEON floating point multiply-accumulate / subtraction is
difficult on current ARM implementations for a few reasons.
1. Even though a single vmla has latency that is one cycle shorter than a pair
   of vmul + vadd, a RAW hazard during the first (4? on Cortex-a8) can cause
   additional pipeline stall. So it's frequently better to single codegen
   vmul + vadd.
2. A vmla folowed by a vmul, vmadd, or vsub causes the second fp instruction to
   stall for 4 cycles. We need to schedule them apart.
3. A vmla followed vmla is a special case. Obvious issuing back to back RAW
   vmla + vmla is very bad. But this isn't ideal either:
     vmul
     vadd
     vmla
   Instead, we want to expand the second vmla:
     vmla
     vmul
     vadd
   Even with the 4 cycle vmul stall, the second sequence is still 2 cycles
   faster.

Up to now, isel simply avoid codegen'ing fp vmla / vmls. This works well enough
but it isn't the optimial solution. This patch attempts to make it possible to
use vmla / vmls in cases where it is profitable.

A. Add missing isel predicates which cause vmla to be codegen'ed.
B. Make sure the fmul in (fadd (fmul)) has a single use. We don't want to
   compute a fmul and a fmla.
C. Add additional isel checks for vmla, avoid cases where vmla is feeding into
   fp instructions (except for the #3 exceptional case).
D. Add ARM hazard recognizer to model the vmla / vmls hazards.
E. Add a special pre-regalloc case to expand vmla / vmls when it's likely the
   vmla / vmls will trigger one of the special hazards.

Enable these fp vmlx codegen changes for Cortex-A9.
