I might be wrong but,
wouldn't be easier in this case to simply compare the addresses of the two shuffle masks?

As far as I understand, the shuffle mask (third operand of a ShuffleVectorInst) is always a Constant; therefore, you should be able to check if two masks are equal by simply comparing their addresses. I expect that something like this should work:

cast<ShuffleVectorInst>(LHS)->getMask() == cast<ShuffleVectorInst>(RHS)->getMask().

quoting what is written in Constant.h, "two structurally equivalent constants will always have the same address". Also, "The shuffle mask operand is required to be a constant vector with either constant integer or undef values".

I hope this helps.
