Re: [PATCH PR84969]Don't reorder builtin memsets if they set different rhs values

Hi,
As noted in PR84969, fuse_memset_builtins breaks dependence between different memsets.
Specifically, it reorders different builtin memset partitions though it doesn't merge
them in the end.  This simple patch fixes this wrong code issue by checking if any two
builtin memsets set the same rhs value or not.  Note we don't need to bother if two
memsets intersect with each other or not.

Of course, this would miss opportunity merging S1/S3 in below case:
   memset(p+12, 0, 12);   //<-----S1
   memset(p+17, 1, 10);
   memset(p, 0, 12);      //<-----S3
In my opinion, this should be resolved in a more general way maximizing parallelism
as well as merging opportunities when sorting partitions into topological order from
dependence graph, which isn't GCC8 task.

Bootstrap and test on x86_64 and AArch64 ongoing.  Okay if no failures?

Thanks,
bin

Thanks Bin.

I can confirm it fixes regression tests of postgres w/ -O3.
