[Bug middle-end/23294] New: fold does not fold a*2-a to a

[pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org]

I noticed this while running a profiledbootstrap and looking through 
simplify-rtx.c.
Take the following function:
int f(int a)
{
  return a*2-a;
}

We don't optimizate a*2-a to just a on the tree level but do in combine, we do.
