Everybody who works with the backend has seen this particular error
all too often. It doesn't have any one cause. As Steven said, it
means that reload was unable to find enough registers to do work which
it needed to do.
In any case. This is the piece of code that I add

I note that these are reasonably complex operations to be adding this
late in the compiler. And that you don't have the case of tmp !=
stored_val. The insn on which reload crashes strongly suggests that
this is a DImode value, which is particularly awkward on the x86
because of the paucity of registers. The code above appears to
convert the DImode value to SImode anyhow.

Basically because reload has been baffled. It picked an alternative
but was unable to find the particular registers required to fill that
alternative.
I don't know whether you mentioned which sources you are using. The
error message indicates that reload is looking for AD_REGS. I'm not
sure why this would happen in mainline, where extendsidi2_1 only uses
AD_REGS if the value is already there. But I think it may be possible
for reload to pick a particular alternative, then be forced to spill
the register, and then still try to stick to the originally chosen
alternative. If so, that would cause this kind of failure.
You might consider not adding your code for DImode values.
