[LV] Remove unneeded createHeaderBranch.(NFCI)

[fhahn]

Summary

The only remaining use was to get the exit block of the loop. Instead of
relying on the loop, use the successor of VectorHeaderBB
(LoopMiddleBlock) directly to set VPTransformState::CFG::ExitB

Depends on D121621.

It still also allocates a loop object for the new vector loop, placing the header in it, and could return it, but doing so would be useless - the loop is retrieved when needed from its header block.

7602

Would be good to set here the minimal fields of State needed, PrevBB/VectorLoopPreHeader being an anchor, and complement other caching fields later - possibly LastBB included?

llvm/lib/Transforms/Vectorize/VPlan.cpp

910–911

Is it no longer possible to retrieve LoopMiddleBlock as the exit block of L, at this time? (Intentionally, from the summary: "Instead of relying on the loop ...")
Alternatively, retrieve LastBB/LoopMiddleBlock as VectorHeaderBB->getSingleSuccessor(); ?

[fhahn]

Add back loop creation part to the comment, move all initial CFGTransformState initialization to single place as suggested, thanks!

[fhahn]

llvm/lib/Transforms/Vectorize/LoopVectorize.cpp

634

Ah yes, added back the bit about allocating the loop, thanks!

7602

I tried to move all revenant initializations here.

[Ayal]

llvm/lib/Transforms/Vectorize/LoopVectorize.cpp

7602

Oh, no, sorry ... I meant LVP should (continue to) set the minimal amount of fields in State here, and let VPlan complement whatever additional fields it needs later, as done now. Wanted to make sure if ExitBB needs to be set to middleBlock here, instead of setting it later to L->getExitBlock() in VPlan::execute() as done now, say because the creation of L is to be moved to later?

[fhahn]

Move initialization of State::CFG back to VPlan::execute.

llvm/lib/Transforms/Vectorize/LoopVectorize.cpp

7602

Oh, no, sorry ... I meant LVP should (continue to) set the minimal amount of fields in State here,

Ah right that makes sense. I updated the patch to only set VectorPreHeader here and set the other fields in VPlan::execute based on that.

[Ayal]

This is fine, thanks!

Couple of minor nits, plus Summary can be updated:
"use ILV::LoopMiddleBlock directly to set VPTransformState::CFG::LastBB" >>
"use successor of VectorHeaderBB (LoopMiddleBlock) directly to set VPTransformState::CFG::ExitBB"

llvm/lib/Transforms/Vectorize/VPlan.cpp

905–911

nit: (irrespective of this patch) can fold as L is used only here

State->CurrentVectorLoop = State->LI->getLoopFor(VectorHeaderBB);

908

nit: simpler and clearer to set

BasicBlock *VectorHeaderBB = State->CFG.VectorPreHeader->getSingleSuccessor();
State->CFG.PrevBB = VectorHeaderBB;

Thanks, the nits should be addressedd in the latest version. I'll update the description and plan to land this soon.
