Sanjay Patel a4554c2897 Improve sqrt estimate algorithm (fast-math)
This patch changes the fast-math implementation for calculating sqrt(x) from:
y = 1 / (1 / sqrt(x))
to:
y = x * (1 / sqrt(x))

This has 2 benefits: less code / faster code and one less estimate instruction 
that may lose precision.

The only target that will be affected (until http://reviews.llvm.org/D5658 is approved)
is PPC. The difference in codegen for PPC is 2 less flops for a single-precision sqrtf
or vector sqrtf and 4 less flops for a double-precision sqrt. 
We also eliminate a constant load and extra register usage.
