[PATCH] D12591: Fix vector splitting for extract_vector_elt and vector elements of <8-bits.

It can affect other targets but we can't make a generic test because the legalization settings for the target determine whether the bug is encountered. If v2i1 is legal or the legalizer widens/promotes the vector instead of splitting it, the bug won't occur.

Yes, I'm planning to nominate it for 3.7.1 once it's committed.
