A few benchmarks with lots of accesses to global variables in the hot
loops regressed a lot since r266399, which added the
SpeculativeExecution pass to the default pipeline. The problem is that
this pass doesn't mark Globals Alias Analysis as preserved. Globals
Alias Analysis is computed in a module pass, whereas
SpeculativeExecution is a function pass, and a lot of passes dependent
on the Globals Alias Analysis to optimize these benchmarks are also
function passes. As such, the Globals Alias Analysis information cannot
be recomputed between SpeculativeExecution and the following function
passes needing that information.
SpeculativeExecution doesn't invalidate Globals Alias Analysis, so mark
it as such to fix those performance regressions.
