[PATCH] DAGCombiner: Assume invariant load cannot alias a store

Hi hfinkel,

The motivation is to allow GatherAllAliases / FindBetterChain
to not give up on dependent loads of a pointer from constant memory.
    
This is important for AMDGPU, because most loads are pointers
derived from a load of a kernel argument from constant memory.
