[IndVars] Fix PR24783.
In `IndVarSimplify::ExpandSCEVIfNeeded`, `SCEVExpander::findExistingExpansion` may return an `llvm::Value` that differs in type from the SCEV it was asked to find an expansion for (but computes the same value). In such cases, we fall back on `expandCodeFor`; and rely on LLVM to CSE the two equivalent expressions (different only by a no-op cast) into a single computation. I tried a few other approaches to fixing PR24783, all of which turned out to be more complex than this current version: 1. Move the `ExpandSCEVIfNeeded` logic into `expandCodeFor`. This got problematic because currently we do not pass in the `Loop *` into `expandCodeFor`. Changing the interface to do this is a more invasive change, and really does not make much semantic sense unless the SCEV being passed in is an add recurrence. There is also the problem of `expandCodeFor` being used in places other than `indvars` -- there may be performance / correctness issues elsewhere if `expandCodeFor` is moved from always generating IR from scratch to cache-like model. 2. Have `findExistingExpansion` only return expression with the correct type. This would make `isHighCostExpansionHelper` and thus `isHighCostExpansion` more conservative than necessary. 3. Insert casts on the value returned by `findExistingExpansion` if needed using `InsertNoopCastOfTo`. This is complicated because `InsertNoopCastOfTo` depends on internal state of its `SCEVExpander` (specifically `Builder.GetInserPoint()`), and this may not be set up when `ExpandSCEVIfNeeded` is called. 4. Manually insert casts on the value returned by `findExistingExpansion` if needed using `InsertNoopCastOfTo` via `CastInst::Create`. This is probably workable, but figuring out the location where the cast instruction needs to be inserted has enough edge cases (arguments, constants, invokes, LCSSA must be preserved) makes me feel what I have right now is simplest solution. llvm-svn: 247749
