Subject: [PATCH] [CodeGen] Fix stale LiveIntervals regmask tables after
 MachineBasicBlock::splitAt

MachineBasicBlock::splitAt() moves the tail of a block -- including any call
instructions carrying register-mask operands -- into a newly created block.
When LiveIntervals is attached it calls LIS->insertMBBInMaps() for the new
block, which records the block with zero regmask slots. That is only correct
for a fresh, empty block: because the tail (and its regmasks) was *moved* out
of the original block, the per-block RegMaskBlocks index for both the original
and the split block is left stale.

checkRegMaskInterference() consults RegMaskBlocks to find the regmask slots
that apply to a live range. With the stale index a value that is live across a
moved call regmask is no longer seen to interfere with the call clobber, so the
register allocator can assign it to a clobbered physical register, which then
trips the machine verifier (-verify-machineinstrs).

Add LiveIntervals::reassignRegMaskSlots(Orig, SplitBB), which re-slices the
moved regmask slots out of the original block's RegMaskBlocks entry into the
split block's entry (RegMaskSlots is sorted, so the slots that moved are those
at/after the split block's start index), and call it from splitAt() right after
insertMBBInMaps().

Adds a LiveIntervals unit test (SplitAtMovesRegMaskInterference) that splits a
block so a value becomes block-local yet still crosses a call regmask, and
checks that checkRegMaskInterference() still reports the clobber.
