The order of global variables is generated in the order of recursively materializing variables if the global variable has the attribute of hasLocalLinkage or hasLinkOnceLinkage during the module merging. In practice, it is often the exact reverse of source order. This new order may cause performance regression.
The change is to preserve the original lexical order for global variables.

Summary:
I noticed when manually modifying this test that it was passing when I
expected it to fail. Looks like the combination of LABEL and NOT on the
check does not work. This can also be seen when running FileCheck with
only that one -check-prefix (removing the additional -check-prefix=B):
/usr/local/google/home/tejohnson/llvm/llvm_11_build/./bin/llvm-link -S -internalize -only-needed /usr/local/google/home/tejohnson/llvm/llvm_11_build/test/Linker/Output/link-flags.ll.tmp.b.bc /usr/local/google/home/tejohnson/llvm/llvm_11_build/test/Linker/Output/link-flags.ll.tmp.c.bc | /usr/local/google/home/tejohnson/llvm/llvm_11_build/./bin/FileCheck /usr/local/google/home/tejohnson/llvm/llvm_11/test/Linker/link-flags.ll -check-prefix=CN
error: no check strings found with prefix 'CN:'
The CN prefix checks don't in fact need "LABEL" so remove that.
