REG_DEAD notes and local alloc bug

[Andrew Macleod <amacleod at cygnus dot com>]

When doing a final rebuild/test of the subreg initialization code with 
the latest mainline, There was a failure that wasn't there before.
gcc.c-torture/compile/930621-1.c started failing at -O1.

It consisted of a sign extend in a loop which required an initialization.
The insn in the loop was then elimated during combine. When local_alloc() is 
run, the register life info is out of date, so compute_reg_usage() is called.
This routine recalculates the register info, but it doesn't do anything about
the REG_DEAD notes, and local_alloc appears to use them. 

The symptom is that we end up with a set of a register in the first basic 
block, and there is never a REG_DEAD note for it.  local_alloc() fails to 
find a register for it, and aborts. If we recompute the REG_DEAD notes when 
we compute reg usage, it solves the problem.

The reason it didn't show up before is because I made a minor change to the
subreg initialization code.. There was an oversight where I was initializting
either the SUBREG of the register to 0 instead of the register itself. This 
apparently causes local_alloc to do something different. Anyway, when I changed 
it to simply set the register to 0 as it should, the failure surfaced.

Is this right, or should we be doing something else?
