During code preperation trivial PHI nodes (mainly introduced by lcssa) are
deleted to decrease the number of introduced allocas (==> dependences). However
simply replacing them by their only incoming value would cause the independent
block pass to introduce new allocas. To prevent this we try to share stack slots
during code preperarion, hence to reuse a already created alloca 'to demote' the
trivial PHI node. This works if we know that the value stored in this alloca
will be the incoming value of the trivial PHI at the end of the predecessor
block of this trivial PHI.
