Sameer Sahasrabuddhe b92c8c22b9 [NewPM] Disable non-trivial loop-unswitch on targets with divergence ...

Unswitching a loop on a non-trivial divergent branch is expensive
since it serializes the execution of both version of the
loop. But identifying a divergent branch needs divergence analysis,
which is a function level analysis.

The legacy pass manager handles this dependency by isolating such a
loop transform and rerunning the required function analyses. This
functionality is currently missing in the new pass manager, and there
is no safe way for the SimpleLoopUnswitch pass to depend on
DivergenceAnalysis. So we conservatively assume that all non-trivial
branches are divergent if the target has divergence.
