[patch] Fix ICE during LTRANS on big Ada application

Hi,

we have run into an ICE in LTO mode on a big Ada application with our 4.9-
based compiler, whose error message is:

xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.constprop.15627/1865799 (xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.constprop)

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.constprop.15627 is missing

So LTRANS complains that a .constprop function is missing on disk, which 
doesn't really make sense since it's a clone so it is not streamed.

The problem is that a clone function has it clone_of field zeroed during clone 
materialization by cgraph_node::remove:

	  /* We are removing node with clones.  This makes clones inconsistent,
	     but assume they will be removed subsequently and just keep clone
	     tree intact.  This can happen in unreachable function removal since
	     we remove unreachable functions in random order, not by bottom-up
	     walk of clone trees.  */
	  for (n = clones; n; n = next)
	    {
	       next = n->next_sibling_clone;
	       n->next_sibling_clone = NULL;
	       n->prev_sibling_clone = NULL;
	       n->clone_of = NULL;
	    }

because it's the clone of an inlined_to node that gets discarded because it's 
inlined into another clone(!).  So the first clone function cannot (and is 
never) materialized and the compiler ICEs later when its body is requested.

It seems to be that the root cause is clone_inlined_nodes overriding a master 
clone that has non-inline clones, hence the attached patch.

Tested on x86_64-suse-linux, OK for the mainline?

	* ipa-inline-transform.c (can_remove_node_now_p_1): Return false for a
	master clone that has non-inline clones.
