[PATCH] Avoid conversion to float when creating ConstantDataArray/ConstantDataVector

[Raoux, Thomas F]

Sorry about that, not sure how I missed that build break. 

Attached is the updated patch, I tripled check that it compiles and ran clang-format on it.

Cheers,
Thomas

The patch doesn't compile for me:
/home/espindola/llvm/llvm/lib/IR/Constants.cpp:943:61: error: function definition is not allowed here
                                               bool Packed) {

Looks like it also needs to be clang-formated (you can use git-clang-format for that).

Cheers,
Rafael
