yes, it was limited to reg-reg copies, and my previous sink improvement aimed to
sink any rtx

  A: be single_set
  B: the src operand be any combination of no more than one register
and no non-constant objects.

while some operator like shift may have side effect. IMHO, all side
effects are reflected on RTX,
together with this fail_on_clobber_use modification, the rtx returned
by single_set_no_clobber_use is
safe to sink if it meets the above limit B and pass later register
use/def check in move_insn_for_shrink_wrap ?
