Jingyue Wu 1d56cda023 Partially revert r210444 due to performance regression
Summary:
Converting outermost zext(a) to sext(a) causes worse code when the
computation of zext(a) could be reused. For example, after converting

... = array[zext(a)]
... = array[zext(a) + 1]

to

... = array[sext(a)]
... = array[zext(a) + 1],

the program computes sext(a), which is actually unnecessary. I added one
test in split-gep-and-gvn.ll to illustrate this scenario.

Also, with r211281 and r211084, we annotate more "nuw" tags to
computation involving CUDA intrinsics such as threadIdx.x. These
annotations help with splitting GEP a lot, rendering the benefit we get
from this reverted optimization only marginal.

Test Plan: make check-all
