This change is to fix rdar://12571717 which is about assertion in Reassociate pass.
The assertion is trigged when the Reassociater tries to transform expression ... + 2 * n * 3 + 2 * m + ... into: ... + 2 * (n*3 + m). In the process of the transformation, a helper routine folds the constant 2*3 into 6, confusing optimizer which is trying the to eliminate the common factor 2, and cannot find 2 any more. Review is pending. But I'd like commit first in order to help those who are waiting for this fix. llvm-svn: 167740
