[Loop Simplify] Resolve an issue where metadata is not applied to a loop latch.

Summary:
This patch resolves an issue where the metadata of a loop is not added to the
new loop latch, and not removed from the old loop latch. This issue occurs in
the SplitBlockPredecessors function, which  adds a new block in a loop, and
in the case that the block passed into this function is the header of the loop,
the loop can be modified such that the latch of the loop is replaced.
This patch applies to the Loop Simplify pass since it ensures that each loop
has exit blocks which only have predecessors that are inside of the loop. In
the case that this is not true, the pass will create a new exit block for the
loop. This guarantees that the loop preheader/header will dominate the exit blocks.
