Create an new preheader in PPCCTRLoops to avoid counter register clobbers
Some IR-level instructions (such as FP <-> i64 conversions) are not chained w.r.t. the mtctr intrinsic and yet may become function calls that clobber the counter register. At the selection-DAG level, these might be reordered with the mtctr intrinsic causing miscompiles. To avoid this situation, if an existing preheader has instructions that might use the counter register, create a new preheader for the mtctr intrinsic. This extra block will be remerged with the old preheader at the MI level, but will prevent unwanted reordering at the selection-DAG level. llvm-svn: 182045
