vect_create_vectorized_promotion_stmts no longer pushes
more stmts than implied by vect_get_num_copies because it could
previously overrun the number of slots allocated for an SLP node
(based on its number of lanes and type). e.g., four defs were
pushed for a promotion of V8HI to V2DI (8/2=4) even if only two
lanes of the V8HI were active. Allowing it later caused ICE in
vectorizable_operation for a parent node, because binary ops
require both operands to be the same length.

Since promotion no longer produces redundant definitions,
vectorizable_conversion also had to be modified so that demotion no
longer relies on an even number of defs being produced. If
necessary, it now pushes a single constant zero def.

gcc/ChangeLog:

         * tree-vect-stmts.cc (vect_create_vectorized_promotion_stmts):
         Require an SLP tree node to be passed by the caller, for use
         by vect_get_num_copies.  Stop pushing more stmts than implied
         by vect_get_num_copies.
         (vectorizable_conversion): Pass SLP tree node to
         vect_create_vectorized_promotion_stmts.  Demotion no longer
         relies on an even number of definitions being produced by
         promotion. If necessary, push a single constant zero
         definition.

Can this ever happen?  We'd have a completely unused vector operand.
I understand in your case we have the upper part of a vector unused.
I think this warrants a comment, possibly before the loop, to document
the input/output cases we support - formerly it was two times the number
of output vectors due to the "same vector size" constraint.  I wonder
why you do not need to adjust the callers modifier (NONE/WIDEN/NARROW)
handling?

This change will no longer exist after rebasing my patch because upstream now passes vect_create_vectorized_promotion_stmts an argument that limits the number of outputs.

No need for this, quick_push will ICE already.

Ah, so it's for those zeros?

Yes. The zero supplies the missing member of the final pair consumed by demotion. I will clarify this comment to say that explicitly.
