thanks for pointing this out, patch updated.

re-tested, pass x86-64 bootstrap and no regression on check-gcc/g++.
pass aarch64-none-elf cross check also.

ok for trunk?

BTW, another bug exposed by linux x86-64 kernel build, and it's at

https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=63404

the problem is caused by we missed clobber/use check. I will send
a seperate patch for review. really sorry for causing the trouble,
the insn move in generic code is actually not that generic, related
with some backend features...

         * shrink-wrap.c (move_insn_for_shrink_wrap): Check "can_throw_internal" before
         sinking insn.
