x86_64: Use peephole2 to eliminate redundant moves.
The recent fix for mul_widen_cost revealed an interesting
quirk of ira/reload register allocation on x86_64. As shown in
https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2020-August/551648.html
for gcc.target/i386/pr71321.c we generate the following code that
performs unnecessary register shuffling.
movl $-51, %edx
movl %edx, %eax
mulb %dil
Various discussions in bugzilla seem to point to reload preferring
not to load constants directly into CLASS_LIKELY_SPILLED_P registers.
Whatever the cause, one solution (workaround), that doesn't involve
rewriting a register allocator, is to use peephole2 to spot this
wierdness and eliminate it. With this peephole2 the above three
instructions (from pr71321.c) are replaced with:
movl $-51, %eax
mulb %dil
