Previously SIFoldOperands::foldInstOperand would only fold a
non-inlinable immediate into a single user, so as not to increase code
size by adding the same 32-bit literal operand to many instructions.
This patch removes that restriction, so that a non-inlinable immediate
will be folded into any number of users. The rationale is:
- It reduces the number of registers used for holding constant values,
which might increase occupancy. (On the other hand, many of these
registers are SGPRs which no longer affect occupancy on GFX10+.)
- It reduces ALU stalls between the instruction that loads a constant
into a register, and the instruction that uses it.
- The above benefits are expected to outweigh any increase in code size.

Using a BufferSize of one for memory ProcResources will result in better
ILP since it more accurately models the dependencies between memory ops
and their consumers on an in-order processor. After this change, the
scheduler will treat the data edges from loads as blocking so that
stalls are guaranteed when waiting for data to be retreaved from memory.
Since we don't actually track waitcnt here, this should do a better job
at modeling their behavior.
Practically, this means that the scheduler will trigger the 'STALL'
heuristic more often.
This type of change needs to be evaluated experimentally. Preliminary
results are positive.

We can improve on the generic splitting by using ffbh/ffbl, which have a
defined result when the input is zero.
