[PATCH] D56872: [InstCombine] Don't sink dynamic allocas

InstCombine's sinking algorithm only thinks about memory. It doesn't
think about non-memory constraints like stack object lifetime. It can
sink dynamic allocas across a stacksave call, which may be used with
stackrestore, which can incorrectly reduce the lifetime of the dynamic
alloca.

Fixes PR40365
