After creating a low-overhead loop, the loop update instruction was still lingering around hurting performance. This removes dead loop update instructions (SUBS instructions).
To support this, some helper functions were added to MachineLoopUtils and ReachingDefAnalysis to analyse live-ins of loop exit blocks and find uses before a particular loop instruction, respectively.
This is a first version that removes a SUBS instruction when there are no other uses inside and outside the loop block, but there are some more interesting cases in test/CodeGen/Thumb2/LowOverheadLoops/mve-tail-data-types.ll which show that there is room for improvement. For example, we can't handle this case yet:
.. dlstp.32 lr, r2 .LBB0_1: mov r3, r2 subs r2, #4 vldrh.u32 q2, [r1], #8 vmov q1, q0 vmla.u32 q0, q2, r0 letp lr, .LBB0_1 @ %bb.2: vctp.32 r3 ..
which is a lot more tricky because r2 is not only used by the subs, but also by the mov to r3, which is used outside the low-overhead loop by the vctp instruction.
I would favour just returning a bool here, or renaming the method.
