This patch removes the function `expandSCEVIfNeeded` which behaves not as it was intended. This function tries to make a lookup for exact existing expansion and only goes to normal expansion via `expandCodeFor` if this lookup hasn't found anything. As a result of this, if some instruction above the loop has a `SCEVConstant` SCEV, this logic will return this instruction when asked for this `SCEVConstant` rather than return a constant value. This is both non-profitable and in some cases leads to breach of LCSSA form (as in PR38674). Whether or not it is possible to break LCSSA with this algorithm and with some non-constant SCEVs is still in question, this is still being investigated. I wasn't able to construct such a test so far, so maybe this situation is impossible. If it is, it will go as a separate fix. Rather than do it, it is always correct to just invoke `expandCodeFor` unconditionally: it behaves smarter about insertion points, and as side effect of this it will choose a constant value for SCEVConstants. For other SCEVs it may end up finding a better insertion point. So it should not be worse in any case. NOTE: So far the only known case for which this transform may break LCSSA is mapping of SCEVConstant to an instruction. However there is a suspicion that the entire algorithm can compromise LCSSA form for other cases as well (yet not proved).
