For this case, the SCEV is of scConstant type which is cheaper than
normal value cached. Although in the cached value set in ExprValueMap,
there is a Constant type value (which is const true), but it is not
easy to find it out -- the cached Value set is not sorted according to
the potential cost. Existing reuse logic in SCEVExpander::expand
simply chooses the first legal element from the cached value set.

The workaround is: when the SCEV is of scConstant type, don't try the
reuse logic. simply expand it.
