Eric Christopher 63295d884c Fix a problem where the TwoAddressInstructionPass which generate redundant register moves in a loop.
From:
int M, total;
void foo() {
int i;
for (i = 0; i < M; i++) {
  total = total + i / 2;
}
}

This is the kernel loop:

.LBB0_2: # %for.body

=>This Inner Loop Header: Depth=1
movl %edx, %esi
movl %ecx, %edx
shrl $31, %edx
addl %ecx, %edx
sarl %edx
addl %esi, %edx
incl %ecx
cmpl %eax, %ecx
jl .LBB0_2
--------------------------
The first mov insn "movl %edx, %esi" could be removed if we change "addl %esi, %edx" to "addl %edx, %esi".

The IR before TwoAddressInstructionPass is:
BB#2: derived from LLVM BB %for.body

Predecessors according to CFG: BB#1 BB#2
    %vreg3<def> = COPY %vreg12<kill>; GR32:%vreg3,%vreg12
    %vreg2<def> = COPY %vreg11<kill>; GR32:%vreg2,%vreg11
    %vreg7<def,tied1> = SHR32ri %vreg3<tied0>, 31, %EFLAGS<imp-def,dead>; GR32:%vreg7,%vreg3
    %vreg8<def,tied1> = ADD32rr %vreg3<tied0>, %vreg7<kill>, %EFLAGS<imp-def,dead>; GR32:%vreg8,%vreg3,%vreg7
    %vreg9<def,tied1> = SAR32r1 %vreg8<kill,tied0>, %EFLAGS<imp-def,dead>; GR32:%vreg9,%vreg8
    %vreg4<def,tied1> = ADD32rr %vreg9<kill,tied0>, %vreg2<kill>, %EFLAGS<imp-def,dead>; GR32:%vreg4,%vreg9,%vreg2
    %vreg5<def,tied1> = INC64_32r %vreg3<kill,tied0>, %EFLAGS<imp-def,dead>; GR32:%vreg5,%vreg3
    CMP32rr %vreg5, %vreg0, %EFLAGS<imp-def>; GR32:%vreg5,%vreg0
    %vreg11<def> = COPY %vreg4; GR32:%vreg11,%vreg4
    %vreg12<def> = COPY %vreg5<kill>; GR32:%vreg12,%vreg5
    JL_4 <BB#2>, %EFLAGS<imp-use,kill>
Now TwoAddressInstructionPass will choose vreg9 to be tied with vreg4. However, it doesn't see that there is copy from vreg4 to vreg11 and another copy from vreg11 to vreg2 inside the loop body. To remove those copies, it is necessary to choose vreg2 to be tied with vreg4 instead of vreg9. This code pattern commonly appears when there is reduction operation in a loop.

So check for a reversed copy chain and if we encounter one then we can commute the add instruction so we can avoid a copy.
