cb4953089b Codegen failure for vmull with small vectors
Codegen was failing with an assertion because of unexpected vector
operands when legalizing the selection DAG for a MUL instruction.

The asserting code was legalizing multiplies for vectors of size 128
bits. It uses a custom lowering to try and detect cases where it can
use a VMULL instruction instead of a VMOVL + VMUL.  The code was
looking for input operands to the MUL that had been sign or zero
extended. If it found the extended operands it would drop the
sign/zero extension and use the original vector size as input to a
VMULL instruction.

The code assumed that the original input vector was 64 bits so that
after dropping the extension it would fit directly into a D register
and could be used as an operand of a VMULL instruction. The input
code that trigger the failure used a vector of <4 x i8> that was
sign extended to <4 x i32>. It was not safe to drop the sign
extension in this case because the original vector is only 32 bits
wide. The fix is to insert a sign extension for the vector to reach
the required 64 bit size. In this particular example, the vector would
need to be sign extented to a <4 x i16>.
