[Bug middle-end/20408] Unnecessary code generated for empty structs

["rguenth at gcc dot gnu dot org" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

For

struct Foo {};
void foo(const Foo&);
void bar(Foo);

void fooc(void)
{
        foo(Foo());
}
void barc(void)
{
        bar(Foo());
}

we get different initializers for the Foo& and the Foo case:

void fooc() ()
{
  struct Foo D.1594;

<bb 0>:
  D.1594 = {};
  foo (&D.1594);
  return;

}

void barc() ()
{
  struct Foo D.1613;

<bb 0>:
  D.1613 = 0;
  bar (D.1613) [tail call];
  return;

}

The former looks correct and does not produce initialization code
for the temporary.  The latter produces an unneccessary (uninitialized)
initialization of the pass-by-value stack slot on x86.
