This is a long-delayed follow-up to
5e5b85098d.
`TempMDNode` includes a bunch of machinery for RAUW, and should only be
used when necessary. RAUW wasn't being used in any of these cases... it
was just a placeholder for a self-reference.
Where the real node was using `MDNode::getDistinct`, just replace the
temporary argument with `nullptr`.
Where the real node was using `MDNode::get`, the `replaceOperandWith`
call was "promoting" the node to a distinct one implicitly due to
self-reference detection in `MDNode::handleChangedOperand`. The
`TempMDNode` was serving a purpose by delaying uniquing, but it's way
simpler to just call `MDNode::getDistinct` in the first place.
Note that using a self-reference at all in these places is a hold-over
from before `distinct` metadata existed. It was an old trick to create
distinct nodes. It would be intrusive to change, including bitcode
upgrades, etc., and it's harmless so I'm not sure there's much value in
removing it from existing schemas. After this commit it still has a tiny
memory cost (in the extra metadata operand) but no more overhead in
construction.

Polly - Polyhedral optimizations for LLVM ----------------------------------------- http://polly.llvm.org/ Polly uses a mathematical representation, the polyhedral model, to represent and transform loops and other control flow structures. Using an abstract representation it is possible to reason about transformations in a more general way and to use highly optimized linear programming libraries to figure out the optimal loop structure. These transformations can be used to do constant propagation through arrays, remove dead loop iterations, optimize loops for cache locality, optimize arrays, apply advanced automatic parallelization, drive vectorization, or they can be used to do software pipelining.
