[patch] Fix minor SLSR pessimization

[Eric Botcazou]

Hi,

an user reported that, for pairs of consecutive memory accesses, the SLSR pass 
can slightly pessimize the generated code at -O2 on the x86 architecture:

struct x
{
  int a[16];
  int b[16];
};

void
set (struct x *p, unsigned int n, int i)
{
  p->a[n] = i;
  p->b[n] = i;
}

is compiled with SLSR enabled into:

        leaq    (%rdi,%rsi,4), %rax
        movl    %edx, (%rax)
        movl    %edx, 64(%rax)

which is slightly worse than the expected:

        movl    %edx, (%rdi,%rsi,4)
        movl    %edx, 64(%rdi,%rsi,4)

The attached patch is a tentative fix which doesn't seem to break anything.

Tested on x86_64-suse-linux, OK for the mainline?

        * gimple-ssa-strength-reduction.c (valid_mem_ref_cand_p): New function.
        (replace_ref): Do not replace a chain of only two candidates which are
        valid memory references.

        * gcc.dg/tree-ssa/slsr-42.c: New test.
