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.

This will remove suboptimal branching from the generated ll/sc loops.
The extra simplification pass affects a lot of testcases, which have
been modified to accommodate this change: either by modifying the
test to become immune to the CFG simplification, or (less preferablt)
by adding option -hexagon-initial-cfg-clenaup=0.
