Scaling up values in ARMBaseInstrInfo::isProfitableToIfCvt() before they are scaled by a probability to avoid precision issue.

In ARMBaseInstrInfo::isProfitableToIfCvt(), there is a simple cost model in which the number of cycles is scaled by a probability to estimate the cost. However, when the number of cycles is small (which is usually the case), there is a precision issue after the computation. To avoid this issue, this patch scales those cycles by 1024 (chosen to make the multiplication a litter faster) before they are scaled by the probability. Other variables are also scaled up for the final comparison.
