Rong Xu 022ca8be28 [SampleFDO] Place the discriminator flag variable into the used list. ...

We create flag variable "__llvm_fs_discriminator__" in the binary
to indicate that FSAFDO hierarchical discriminators are used.

This variable might be GC'ed by the linker since it is not explicitly
reference. I initially added the var to the use list in pass
MIRFSDiscriminator but it did not work. It turned out the used global
list is collected in lowering (before MIR pass) and then emitted in
the end of pass pipeline.

Here I add the variable to the use list in IR level's AddDiscriminators
pass. The machine level code is still keep in the case IR's
AddDiscriminators is not invoked. If this is the case, this just use
-Wl,--export-dynamic-symbol=__llvm_fs_discriminator__
to force the emit.
