LOG: [MemoryLocation][DSE] Allow other read effects in MemoryLocation::getForDest() (#144343)

MemoryLocation::getForDest() returns a (potentially) written location,
while still allowing other reads. Currently, this is limited to
argmemonly functions. However, we can ignore other (non-argmem) read
effects here for the same reason we can ignore argument reads.
    
Fixes https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/144300.
