Spill mode: Hoist back-copies locally.
The leaveIntvAfter() function normally inserts a back-copy after the requested instruction, making the back-copy kill the live range. In spill mode, try to insert the back-copy before the last use instead. That means the last use becomes the kill instead of the back-copy. This lowers the register pressure because the last use can now redefine the same register it was reading. This will also improve compile time: The back-copy isn't a kill, so hoisting it in hoistCopiesForSize() won't force a recomputation of the source live range. Similarly, if the back-copy isn't hoisted by the splitter, the spiller will not attempt hoisting it locally. llvm-svn: 139883
