Can we just do VIEW_CONVERT_EXPR for vectype instead of mask_type.
.i.e
we can do VCE to tranform V8SI to V16HI, then use mask_load for V16HI with same
mask {b0, b0, b1, b1, b2, b2, .}, then VCE it to back to V8SI, it should be ok
as long as duplicated bits in place.(or VCE V16HI to V8SI then use mask {b0,
b1, b2, ..., bN}, and VCE V8SI back to V16HI after masked load/move).
