For trunk dse_possible_dead_store_p fails to look through the loop, when
being at the VDEF .MEM_165:

<bb 3>:
  # i_93 = PHI <i_78(3), 0(2)>
  # .MEM_100 = PHI <.MEM_165(3), .MEM_68(2)>
  # VUSE <.MEM_100>
  D.3879_71 = MEM[(struct VBase *)out_2(D)].my_data;
  D.3880_73 = (long unsigned int) i_93;
  D.3881_74 = D.3880_73 * 8;
  D.3878_75 = D.3879_71 + D.3881_74;
  # VUSE <.MEM_100>
  D.3975_138 = MEM[(const struct VBase *)in_1(D)].my_data;
  D.3974_141 = D.3975_138 + D.3881_74;
  # VUSE <.MEM_100>
  D.3981_142 = *D.3974_141;
  # .MEM_165 = VDEF <.MEM_100>
  *D.3878_75 = D.3981_142;
  i_78 = i_93 + 1;
  if (i_78 != 100)
    goto <bb 3>;
  else
    goto <bb 4>;

<bb 4>:
  # .MEM_28 = VDEF <.MEM_165>
  D.2811 ={v} {CLOBBER};

we then see two uses that have a VDEF - the PHI (which we processed before),
and the store after the loop.

The following fixes that

but the existing loop code is weird ...

I'm anyway testing the above.
