    intel/fs: Be more explicit about our placement of [un]zip

    Before, we were careful to place the zip after the last of the split
    instructions but did unzip on-demand.  This changes things so that the
    unzips go before all of the split instructions and the unzip comes
    explicitly after all the split instructions.  As a side-effect of this
    change, we now emit the split instruction from highest SIMD group to
    lowest instead of low to high.  We could have kept the old behavior, but
    it shouldn't matter and this made the code easier.

-------------------------------------------------------------

To be the cause for the SynMark v7 PSPom drop visible on following platforms:
* 2% in BXT J4205, KBL GT3e
* 1-2% on BSW N3050
* 1% on BDW GT2, SKL GT2 & GT4e

This test didn't improve on any other platform and no other test was affected.

(I'm OK if this is closed as WONTFIX, I filed this more to document the perf
change.)
