Added a separate metadata to indicate when the loop has already been vectorized instead of setting width and count to 1.

What's the motivation?

lib/Transforms/Vectorize/LoopVectorize.cpp

These messages are read by users so referring to internal variables is not appropriate. How about, "or the loop has already been vectorized".

space after if.

I think we should add a comment here explaining this. How about?

// If the vectorization width and interleaving count are both 1 then consider the loop to have been already vectorized because there's nothing more that we can do.
1286

Which needs to be:

Width.Value == 1 && Interleave.Value == 1

As you have it written, the condition will be true whenever there are any overlapping set bits in the two numbers, say when they're both equal, which is not what we want.

I have a question:

Is there any reason not to mark the scalar loop and the vectorized version with the "llvm.loop.vectorize.width" and "llvm.loop.interleave.count" metadata reflecting the real outcome from the LV.
I.e 1, 1 for the scalar loop and VF, UF for the vectorized version? That would be possible after this change.

Our out of tree compiler have later loop passes that could benefit from that information. I do not know if would be of any use for any of the in-tree targets or if it would hurt something.

I'm not clear on how a later pass might use that information in a robust way. Can you please elaborate?
