[llvm] [X86] Remove TuningPOPCNTFalseDeps from AlderLake (PR #154004)

[Aiden Grossman via llvm-commits]

https://github.com/boomanaiden154 created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/154004

This false dependency issue was fixed in CannonLake looking at the data from uops.info. This is confirmed not to be an issue based on benchmarking data in #153983. Setting this can potentially lead to extra xor instructions whihc could consume extra frontend/renaming resources.

None of the other CPUs that have had this fixed have the tuning flag.

Fixes #153983.
