It's got to be about the same cost as purge_builtin_constant_p,
as both involve one linear scan of the insn stream.  Which was
identified as a definite regression in gcse times, which led to
a sequence of patches that avoided running it whenever possible.

If you added a timevar, you'd notice that you've just about
exactly doubled the amount of time spent here.
