In the function `simplifyOneLoop` we optimistically assume that changes in the
inner loop only affect this very loop and have no impact on its parents. In fact,
after https://reviews.llvm.org/rL329047 has been merged, we can now calculate exit counts for outer
loops which may depend on inner loops. Thus, we need to invalidate all parents
when we do something to a loop.

There is an evidence of incorrect behavior of `simplifyOneLoop`: when we insert
`SE->verify()` check in the end of this funciton, it fails on a bunch of existing
test, in particular:

  LLVM :: Transforms/LoopUnroll/peel-loop-not-forced.ll
  LLVM :: Transforms/LoopUnroll/peel-loop-pgo.ll
  LLVM :: Transforms/LoopUnroll/peel-loop.ll
  LLVM :: Transforms/LoopUnroll/peel-loop2.ll

Note that previously we have fixed issues of this variety, see https://reviews.llvm.org/rL328483.
This patch makes this function invalidate the outermost loop properly.
