Reapply r223347, with a fix to not crash on uninserted instructions (or more
precisely, instructions in uninserted blocks). bugpoint was able to reduce the
test case somewhat, but it is still somewhat large (and relies on setting
things up to be simplified during inlining), so I've not included it here.
Nevertheless, it is clear what is going on and why.
Original commit message:
Restrict somewhat the memory-allocation pointer cmp opt from r223093
Based on review comments from Richard Smith, restrict this optimization from
applying to globals that might resolve lazily to other dynamically-loaded
modules, and also from dynamic allocas (which might be transformed into malloc
calls). In short, take extra care that the compared-to pointer is really
simultaneously live with the memory allocation.

System memory allocation functions, which are identified at the IR level by the
noalias attribute on the return value, must return a pointer into a memory region
disjoint from any other memory accessible to the caller. We can use this
property to simplify pointer comparisons between allocated memory and local
stack addresses and the addresses of global variables. Neither the stack nor
global variables can overlap with the region used by the memory allocator.
Fixes PR21556.
