Test file: udivmoddi.c
problem insn: 484

Before LRA pass we have:
(insn 484 483 485 72 (parallel [
            (set (reg/v:SI 143 [ __q1 ])
                (plus:SI (reg/v:SI 143 [ __q1 ])
                    (const_int -2 [0xfffffffffffffffe])))
            (clobber (scratch:QI))
        ]) "udivmoddi.c":163:405 discrim 5 186 {addsi3}
     (nil))

LRA substitute all scratches with new pseudos, so we have:
(insn 484 483 485 72 (parallel [
            (set (reg/v:SI 143 [ __q1 ])
                (plus:SI (reg/v:SI 143 [ __q1 ])
                    (const_int -2 [0xfffffffffffffffe])))
            (clobber (reg:QI 619))
        ]) "/mnt/d/avr-lra/udivmoddi.c":163:405 discrim 5 186 {addsi3}
     (expr_list:REG_UNUSED (reg:QI 619)
        (nil)))

Pseudo 619 is a special scratch register generated by LRA which is marked in 
`scratch_bitmap' and can be tested by call `ira_former_scratch_p(regno)'.

In dump file (udivmoddi.c.317r.reload) we have:
      Creating newreg=619
Removing SCRATCH to p619 in insn #484 (nop 3)
rescanning insn with uid = 484.

After that LRA tries to spill (reg:QI 619)
It's a bug because (reg:QI 619) is an output scratch register which is already 
something like spill register.

Fragment from udivmoddi.c.317r.reload:
      Choosing alt 2 in insn 484:  (0) r  (1) 0  (2) nYnn  (3) &d {addsi3}
      Creating newreg=728 from oldreg=619, assigning class LD_REGS to r728

IMHO: the bug is in lra-constraints.cc in function `get_reload_reg'
fragment of `get_reload_reg':
  if (type == OP_OUT)
    {
      /* Output reload registers tend to start out with a conservative
         choice of register class.  Usually this is ALL_REGS, although
         a target might narrow it (for performance reasons) through
         targetm.preferred_reload_class.  It's therefore quite common
         for a reload instruction to require a more restrictive class
         than the class that was originally assigned to the reload register.

         In these situations, it's more efficient to refine the choice
         of register class rather than create a second reload register.
         This also helps to avoid cycling for registers that are only
         used by reload instructions.  */
      if (REG_P (original)
          && (int) REGNO (original) >= new_regno_start
          && INSN_UID (curr_insn) >= new_insn_uid_start
__________________________________^^
          && in_class_p (original, rclass, &new_class, true))
        {
          unsigned int regno = REGNO (original);
          if (lra_dump_file != NULL)
            {
              fprintf (lra_dump_file, "  Reuse r%d for output ", regno);
              dump_value_slim (lra_dump_file, original, 1);
            }

This condition incorrectly limits register reuse to ONLY newly generated 
instructions.
i.e. LRA can reuse registers only from insns generated by himself.

IMHO:It's wrong.
Scratch registers generated by LRA also have to be reused.

The patch is very simple.
On x86_64, it bootstraps+regtests fine.

I'm proposing the backport to fix an ICE building gegl on powerpc64le:
https://gcc.gnu.org/PR119340.  Bootstrapped and regtested on
powerpc64le-linux-gnu, OK for releases/gcc-14?
