Summary:
Fixes a FIXME in MachineSinking. Instead of using the simple heuristics in
isPostDominatedBy, use the real MachinePostDominatorTree and MachineLoopInfo.
The old heuristics caused instructions to sink unnecessarily, and might create
register pressure.
This is the second try of the fix. The first one (D4814) caused a performance
regression due to failing to sink instructions out of loops (PR21115). This
patch fixes PR21115 by sinking an instruction from a deeper loop to a shallower
one regardless of whether the target block post-dominates the source.
Thanks Alexey Volkov for reporting PR21115!
Test Plan:
Added a NVPTX codegen test to verify that our change prevents the backend from
over-sinking. It also shows the unnecessary register pressure caused by
over-sinking.
Added an X86 test to verify we can sink instructions out of loops regardless of
the dominance relationship. This test is reduced from Alexey's test in PR21115.
Updated an affected test in X86.
Also ran SPEC CINT2006 and llvm-test-suite for compilation time and runtime
performance. Results are attached separately in the review thread.

One motivating example is to sink an instruction from a basic block which has
two successors: one outside the loop, the other inside the loop. We should try
to sink the instruction outside the loop.
