[LoopInterchange] Prevent from undoing its own transformation (#127473)

LoopInterchange uses the bubble-sort fashion algorithm to sort the loops
in a loop nest. For two loops `A` and `B`, it calls `isProfitable(A, B)`
to determine whether these loops should be exchanged. The result of
`isProfitable(A, B)` should be conservative, that is, it should return
true only when we are sure exchanging `A` and `B` will improve
performance. If it's not conservative enough, it's possible that a
subsequent `isProfitable(B, A)` will also return true, in which case
LoopInterchange will undo its previous transformation. To avoid such
cases, `isProfitable(B, A)` must not return true if `isProfitable(A, B)`
returned true in the past. However, the current implementation can be in
such a situation. This patch resolves it by correcting the handling of
two loops that have the same cache cost.

This resolve the problem mentioned in
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/118267#issuecomment-2510759354.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

Welcome to the LLVM project!

This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.

The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.

C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.

Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.

Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM

Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
