…VectorElts
This patch reverts changes from commit 585e65d (https://reviews.llvm.org/D104250), as it doesn't seem to be needed nowadays.
The removed code was doing a recursive call to
SimplifyDemandedVectorElts trying to simplify the vector %vec when finding things like
(SCALAR_TO_VECTOR (EXTRACT_VECTOR_ELT %vec, 0))
I figure that (EXTRACT_VECTOR_ELT %vec, 0) would be simplified based on only demanding element zero regardless of being used in a SCALAR_TO_VECTOR operation or not.
It had been different if the code tried to simplify the whole expression as %vec. That could also have motivate why to make element zero a special case. But it only simplified %vec without folding away the SCALAR_TO_VECTOR.
