[LICM] Disallow sinking of unordered atomic loads into loops

Sinking of unordered atomic load into loop must be disallowed because it turns
a single load into multiple loads. The relevant section of the documentation
is: http://llvm.org/docs/Atomics.html#unordered, specifically the Notes for
Optimizers section. Here is the full text of this section:

> Notes for optimizers
> In terms of the optimizer, this **prohibits any transformation that
> transforms a single load into multiple loads**, transforms a store into
> multiple stores, narrows a store, or stores a value which would not be
> stored otherwise. Some examples of unsafe optimizations are narrowing
> an assignment into a bitfield, rematerializing a load, and turning loads
> and stores into a memcpy call. Reordering unordered operations is safe,
> though, and optimizers should take advantage of that because unordered
> operations are common in languages that need them.
