Current findBestLoopTop can find and move one kind of block to top, a latch block has one successor. Another common case is:
* a latch block
* it has two successors, one is loop header, another is exit
* it has more than one predecessors
If it is below one of its predecessors P, only P can fall through to it, all other predecessors need a jump to it, and another conditional jump to loop header. If it is moved before loop header, all its predecessors jump to it, then fall through to loop header. So all its predecessors except P can reduce one taken branch.

Summary:
Lower control flow did not correctly handle the case that a loop break
in if/else was on a condition that was not guaranteed to be masked by
exec. The first test kernel shows an example of this going wrong; after
exiting the loop, exec is all ones, even if it was not before the loop.
The fix is for lowering of if-break and else-break to insert an
S_AND_B64 to mask the break condition with exec. This commit also
includes the optimization of not inserting that S_AND_B64 if it is
obviously not needed because the break condition is the result of a
V_CMP in the same basic block.
V2: Addressed some review comments.
V3: Test fixes.
