[llvm] r269222 - [ProfileData] Use SoftInstrProfErrors to count soft errors, NFC

I'm in favor of removing the counters from this struct, but keeping it as a member of InstrProfRecord [*]

I expected to use the counters in this struct to aid debugging, and to eventually implement better error reporting. This hasn't panned out: the counters haven't been much help (at least, not to me, I'm curious as to whether @davidxl has made use of them). It's totally fair to remove them until we have a better plan.

Having a soft error tracker within InstrProfRecord makes error tracking very 'nice'. We can make sure an IPR isn't destroyed without its error state being considered. We can also handle copying/moving IPRs easily. @dblaikie The cost of a single instrprof_error field doesn't seem too high (at least, it'd be a lot better than what we have now). Would that work for you?

thanks,
vedant

[*] I'm also volunteering to make the change, if there's agreement it's the right way to go :).

I have a change in mind/prototyped that helps that (10GB -> 5GB) by moving the counters into a sub-struct of InstrProfRecord and using only that sub-struct in the InstrProfWriter (since it has the name and hash in the maps its using for lookup during merging - so they don't need to be duplicated in the values too). But this SoftInstrProfErrors is used from the counter-related functions and is quite large, so naively it would have to move into this sub-struct & take up lots of space.
