Apply the InstCombine fptrunc sqrt optimization to llvm.sqrt
InstCombine, in visitFPTrunc, applies the following optimization to sqrt calls: (fptrunc (sqrt (fpext x))) -> (sqrtf x) but does not apply the same optimization to llvm.sqrt. This is a problem because, to enable vectorization, Clang generates llvm.sqrt instead of sqrt in fast-math mode, and because this optimization is being applied to sqrt and not applied to llvm.sqrt, sometimes the fast-math code is slower. This change makes InstCombine apply this optimization to llvm.sqrt as well. This fixes the specific problem in PR17758, although the same underlying issue (optimizations applied to libcalls are not applied to intrinsics) exists for other optimizations in SimplifyLibCalls. llvm-svn: 194935
