testcase showing bad behavior

During the 3.8-3.9 timeframe, a number of changes were done that exhibit some
severe quality-of-code regression.

For the testcase, I am using the xscale target to show the regression, but we
noticed it in our custom version of llvm. So this behavior is likely to be
present for most targets.

The main change that shows the regression is:

    [PM] Schedule InstSimplify after late LICM run, to clean up LCSSA nodes.

    Summary:
    The module pass pipeline includes a late LICM run after loop
    unrolling.  LCSSA is implicitly run as a pass dependency of LICM.  However
no
    cleanup pass was run after this, so the LCSSA nodes ended in the optimized
output.

This change activates the instructionSimplifyPass, but, this change only allows
us to see when LoopStrengthReduce is breaking down.
