Sorry, I don't understand why the lifetime of inputs is extended. I think it should not change.
Before InstCombine
```
%cmp = fcmp olt float %a, %b
store i1 %cmp, ptr %p, align 1
%select = select nnan nsz i1 %cmp, float float %a, float %b
```
After InstCombine
```
%cmp = fcmp olt float %a, %b
store i1 %cmp, ptr %p, align 1
%select = call nnan nsz float @llvm.minnum.f32(float %a, float %b)
```
both `select` and `llvm.minnum` use `%a` and `%b` inputs but select also uses `%cmp`. From this code, it's not clear why intrinsic extends the lifetime of inputs. It even reduces the lifetime of `%cmp` variable. What am I missing?
