The intrinsic itself doesn't really matter, given that the pass doesn't produce loops for any of the loads/stores of scalable vector types, not just gather/scatter.

Given that we know this pass doesn't produce loop, I am happy to hoist this even outside the `if (II)`, and test it on a generic `CallInst` instead of `IntrinsicInst`. Does that make sense?
