Oliver Stannard 9cf68679c4 [ARM] Fix failure to register-allocate CMP_SWAP_64 pseudo-inst (#106721) ...

This test case was failing to compile with a "ran out of registers
during register allocation" error at -O0. This was because CMP_SWAP_64
has 3 operands which must be an even-odd register pair, and two other
GPR operands. All of the def operands are also early-clobber, so
registers can't be shared between uses and defs. Because the function
has an over-aligned alloca it needs frame and base pointers, so r6 and
r11 are both reserved. That leaves r0/r1, r2/r3, r4/r5 and r8/r9 as the
only valid register pairs, and if the two individual GPR operands happen
to get allocated to registers in different pairs then only 2 pairs will
be available for the three GPRPair operands.

To fix this, I've merged the two GPR operands into a single GPRPair
operand. This means that the instruction now has 4 GPRPair operands,
which can always be allocated without relying on luck. This does
constrain register allocation a bit more, but this pseudo instruction is
only used at -O0, so I don't think that's a problem.
