[Bug tree-optimization/19804] Missed jump threading opportunity on "else" arm of COND_EXPR

Here is a test case where a jump threading opportunity would be missed
if the change suggested in the original post were made:

void
foo (int *p)
{
  if (*p != 0)
    bar ();

  if (*p != 0)
    bar ();
}

Here is a tree dump right before the first DOM.

foo (p)
{
  int D.1120;

<bb 0>:
  D.1120_2 = *p_1;
  if (D.1120_2 != 0) goto <L0>; else goto <L1>;

<L0>:;
  bar ();

<L1>:;
  D.1120_3 = *p_1;
  if (D.1120_3 != 0) goto <L2>; else goto <L3>;

<L2>:;
  bar ();

<L3>:;
  return;

}

The change I suggested would record "D.1120_2 == 2" while following
edge from <L0> to <L2>.

Then th jump threading selection code figures out that

  D.1120_3 = *p_1;

is the same as

  D.1120_3 = 0;

via equality "D.1120_3 == D.1120_2".

For whatever reason, the jump threading selection code does not want to
see anything but SSA_NAME on the rhs.

At that point, DOM throws away this jump threading opportunity.
