Flang currently adds loop metadata to a conditional branch in the loop preheader, while clang adds it to the loop latch's branch instruction. Langref says:

I misread langref a couple times, but I think this is the appropriate branch op for the LoopAnnotationAttr. In a couple examples I found that the metadata was lost entirely during canonicalization. This patch makes the codegen look more like clang's and the annotations persist through codegen.
