[Bug target/40835] New: redundant comparison instruction

[carrot at google dot com]

Compile the following code with options -Os -mthumb -march=armv5te

int bar();
void goo(int, int);
void foo()
{
  int v = bar();
  if (v == 0)
    return;
  goo(1, v);
}

Gcc generates:

        push    {r3, lr}
        bl      bar
        mov     r1, r0
        cmp     r0, #0    // *
        beq     .L1
        mov     r0, #1
        bl      goo
.L1:
        @ sp needed for prologue
        pop     {r3, pc}

The compare instruction is redundant since the previous move instruction has
already set the condition code according to the value of r0.
