Diego Novillo 965f2c2437 Fix PR 24723 - Handle 0-mass backedges in irreducible loops
This corner case happens when we have an irreducible SCC that is
deeply nested.  As we work down the tree, the backedge masses start
getting smaller and smaller until we reach one that is down to 0.

Since we distribute the incoming mass using the backedge masses as
weight, the distributor does not allow zero weights.  So, we simply
ignore them (which will just use the weights of the non-zero nodes).

In test/Transforms/LoopStrengthReduce/quadradic-exit-value.ll, the
ScalarEvolution expression for %r is this:

  {1,+,3,+,2}<loop>

Outside the loop, this could be evaluated simply as (%n * %n), however
ScalarEvolution currently evaluates it as

  (-2 + (2 * (trunc i65 (((zext i64 (-2 + %n) to i65) * (zext i64 (-1 + %n) to i65)) /u 2) to i64)) + (3 * %n))

In addition to being much more complicated, it involves i65 arithmetic,
which is very inefficient when expanded into code.

In formatValue in test/CodeGen/X86/lsr-delayed-fold.ll,

ScalarEvolution is forming this expression:

((trunc i64 (-1 * %arg5) to i32) + (trunc i64 %arg5 to i32) + (-1 * (trunc i64 undef to i32)))

This could be folded to

(-1 * (trunc i64 undef to i32))
