[X86][VARARG] Avoid spilling xmm registers for va_start.
That review is extracted from D69372. It fixes https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42219 bug. For the noimplicitfloat mode, the compiler mustn't generate floating-point code if it was not asked directly to do so. This rule does not work with variable function arguments currently. Though compiler correctly guards block of code, which copies xmm vararg parameters with a check for %al, it does not protect spills for xmm registers. Thus, such spills are generated in non-protected areas and could break code, which does not expect floating-point data. The problem happens in -O0 optimization mode. With this optimization level there is used FastRegisterAllocator, which spills virtual registers at basic block boundaries. Register Allocator does not protect spills with additional control-flow modifications. Thus to resolve that problem, it is suggested to not copy incoming physical registers into virtual registers. Instead, store incoming physical xmm registers into the memory from scratch. Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D80163
