[PATCH] D80053: [GlobalISel] Don't combine instructions which are fed by memory instructions.

If we have a memory instruction (e.g. a load), we shouldn't combine it away in some trivial combine.

It's possible that, say, a call lives between the instructions. This could modify the value loaded, making the load instructions not safe to fold.
