[Mesa-dev] [PATCH v2 03/52] intel/fs: Handle flag read/write aliasing in needs_src_copy

In order to implement the ballot intrinsic, we do a MOV from flag
register to some GRF.  If that GRF is used in a SEL, cmod propagation
helpfully changes it into a MOV from the flag register with a cmod.
This is perfectly valid but when lower_simd_width comes along, it simply
splits into two instructions which both have conditional modifiers.
This is a problem since we're reading the flag register.  This commit
makes us check whether or not flags_written() overlaps with the flag
values that we are reading via the instruction source and, if we have
any interference, will force us to emit a copy of the source.
