Matt Arsenault bf67cf7e4b AMDGPU: Remove spurious out branches after a kill
The sequence like this:
  v_cmpx_le_f32_e32 vcc, 0, v0
  s_branch BB0_30
  s_cbranch_execnz BB0_30
  ; BB#29:
  exp null off, off, off, off done vm
  s_endpgm
  BB0_30:
  ; %endif110

is likely wrong. The s_branch instruction will unconditionally jump
to BB0_30 and the skip block (exp done + endpgm) inserted for
performing the kill instruction will never be executed. This results
in a GPU hang with Star Ruler 2.

The s_branch instruction is added during the "Control Flow Optimizer"
pass which seems to re-organize the basic blocks, and we assume
that SI_KILL_TERMINATOR is always the last instruction inside a
basic block. Thus, after inserting a skip block we just go to the
next BB without looking at the subsequent instructions after the
kill, and the s_branch op is never removed.

Instead, we should remove the unconditional out branches and let
skip the two instructions if the exec mask is non-zero.

This patch fixes the GPU hang and doesn't introduce any regressions
with "make check".

Please see the documentation provided in docs/ for further
assistance with LLVM, and in particular docs/GettingStarted.rst for getting
started with LLVM and docs/README.txt for an overview of LLVM's
documentation setup.
