[Bug rtl-optimization/41833] New: vec_splat followed by vec_splat could be improved

[pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org]

Take:
#include <altivec.h>

vector float f(vector float a)
{
  vector float b = vec_splat (a, 2);
  return vec_splat (b, 0);
}
--- CUT ---
The second vec_splat could be removed as we already splatted the value across
the vector once, there is no need to do it again.
