Unfortunately, when this change is made, LSR will generate different code.  One of the root causes seems to be that SCEV will return different nsw/nuw flags for the same Value, depending on what order the SCEVs are computed, due to the fact that the SCEV object unique-ing doesn't take the nsw/nuw flags into account.  Since LoopDataPrefetch computes SCEVs in a different order than LSR, the nsw/nuw flags seen by LSR will differ based on whether the SCEVs are preserved from LoopDataPrefetch.

Here is an abridged record of the getSCEV results as seen by each pass with/without preserving SCEVAnalysis.
In the first case, when the SCEV is invalidated, the SCEV for %i.07.i is computed in LSR as {0,+,1}<%for.body.i>.  In the second case, the SCEV for %i.07.i is computed in LSR the same way, but because the SCEV for %idxprom.i from FalkorHWPFFix unique's to the same value but has the nuw flag set and is still present in the foldingset, {0,+,1}<nuw><%for.body.i> is returned for %i.07.i in LSR instead.  The SCEVs for other values differ too, but I thought I'd start with this one.

Created SCEV for %i.07.i = phi i32 [ %inc.i, %for.inc.i ], [ 0, %for.body.i.preheader ]: {0,+,1}<%for.body.i>
