[PATCH] D40706: Fix function pointer tail calls in armv8-M.base

[Pablo Barrio via Phabricator via llvm-commits]

The compiler fails with the following error message:

fatal error: error in backend: ran out of registers during
register allocation

Tail call optimization for Armv8-M.base fails to meet all the required
constraints when handling calls to function pointers where the
arguments take up r0-r3. This is because the pointer to the
function to be called can only be stored in r0-r3, but these are
all occupied by arguments. This patch makes sure that tail call
optimization does not try to handle this type of calls.
