[PATCH, LRA]: Revert the revert of removal of usless move insns.

Hello!

Before the recent patch to post-reload mode switching, vzeroupper
insertion depended on the existence of the return copy instructions
pair in functions that return a value. The first instruction in the
pair represents a move to a function return hard register, and the
second was a USE of the function return hard register. Sometimes a nop
move was generated (e.g. %eax->%eax) for the first instruction of the
return copy instructions pair and the patch [1] teached LRA  to remove
these useless instructions on the fly.

The removal caused optimize mode switching to trigger the assert,
since the first instruction of a return pair was not found. The
relevant part of the patch was later reverted. With the recent
optimize mode switching patch, this is no longer necessary for
vzeroupper insertion pass, so attached patch reverts the revert.

    * lra-spills.c (lra_final_code_change): Remove useless move insns.

Patch was bootstrapped and regression tested on x86_64-linux-gnu {,-m32}.

OK for mainline?
