The TwoAddressInstructionPass takes the machine code out of SSA form by
expanding REG_SEQUENCE instructions into copies. It is no longer
necessary to rewrite the registers used by a REG_SEQUENCE instruction
because the new coalescer algorithm can do it now.
REG_SEQUENCE is just converted to a sequence of sub-register copies now.

An instruction may define part of a register where the other bits are
undefined. In that case, it is safe to rematerialize the instruction.
For example:
%vreg2:ssub_0<def> = VLDRS <cp#0>, 0, pred:14, pred:%noreg, %vreg2<imp-def>
The extra <imp-def> operand indicates that the instruction does not read
the other parts of the virtual register, so a remat is safe.
This patch simply allows multiple def operands for the virtual register.
It is MI->readsVirtualRegister() that determines if we depend on a
previous value so remat is impossible.

An instruction that redefines only part of a larger register can never
be rematerialized since the virtual register value depends on the old
value in other parts of the register.
This was fixed for the inline spiller in r138794. This patch fixes the
problem for all register allocators, and includes a small test case.
