turning a code like this:
if (foo)
free(foo)
into that:
free(foo)
Move a call to free from basic block FB into FB's predecessor, P,
when the path from P to FB is taken only if the argument of free is
not equal to NULL.
Some restrictions apply on P and FB to be sure that this code motion
is profitable. Namely:
1. FB must have only one predecessor P.
2. FB must contain only the call to free plus an unconditional
branch to S.
3. P's successors are FB and S.
Because of 1., we will not increase the code size when moving the call
to free from FB to P.
Because of 2., FB will be empty after the move.
Because of 2. and 3., P's branch instruction becomes useless, so as FB
(simplifycfg will do the job).

This means we can do cheap DSE for heap memory.
Nothing is done if the pointer excapes or has a load.
The churn in the tests is mostly due to objectsize, since we want to make sure we
don't delete the malloc call before evaluating the objectsize (otherwise it becomes -1/0)

Don't replace a gep/bitcast with 'undef' because that will form a "free(undef)"
which in turn means "unreachable". What we wanted was a no-op. Instead, analyze
the whole tree and look for all the instructions we need to delete first, then
delete them second, not relying on the use_list to stay consistent.
llvm-svn: 136752
Update all analysis passes and transforms to treat free calls just like FreeInst.
Remove RaiseAllocations and all its tests since FreeInst no longer needs to be raised.
llvm-svn: 84987
Update testcases that rely on malloc insts being present.
Also prematurely remove MallocInst handling from IndMemRemoval and RaiseAllocations to help pass tests in this incremental step.
