RTL expansion of substitution to [DS]Cmode hard register includes obstructive
register clobber.

A simplest example:

    double _Complex test(double _Complex c) {
      return c;
    }

will be converted to:

    (set (reg:DF 42 [ c ]) (reg:DF 2 a2))
    (set (reg:DF 43 [ c+8 ]) (reg:DF 4 a4))
    (clobber (reg:DC 2 a2))
    (set (reg:DF 2 a2) (reg:DF 42 [ c ]))
    (set (reg:DF 4 a4) (reg:DF 43 [ c+8 ]))
    (use (reg:DC 2 a2))
    (return)

and then finally:

    test:
        mov     a8, a2
        mov     a9, a3
        mov     a6, a4
        mov     a7, a5
        mov     a2, a8
        mov     a3, a9
        mov     a4, a6
        mov     a5, a7
        ret

As you see, it is so ridiculous.

This patch eliminates such clobber in order to prune away the wasted move
instructions by the optimizer:

    test:
        ret
