Well, sched-deps expects that we walk the insns sequentially, setting
INSN_COND when an insn is seen for the first time, and then setting it
to const_true_rtx once the condition is no longer valid for mutex_p
comparisons.

It's only used in sched-deps.c, during the scan.

I have such a patch for sched-ebb.
