LLVM: Optimization Pass: Remove conflicting attribute, if any, before

adding new read attribute to an argument
Summary: Update optimization pass to prevent adding read-attribute to an
argument without removing its conflicting attribute.

A read attribute, based on the result of the attribute deduction
process, might be added to an argument. The attribute might be in
conflict with other read/write attribute currently associated with the
argument. To ensure the compatibility of attributes, conflicting
attribute, if any, must be removed before a new one is added.

The following snippet shows the current behavior of the compiler, where
the compilation process is aborted due to incompatible attributes.

$ cat x.ll
; ModuleID = 'x.bc'

%_type_of_d-ccc = type <{ i8*, i8, i8, i8, i8 }>

@d-ccc = internal global %_type_of_d-ccc <{ i8* null, i8 1, i8 13, i8 0,
i8 -127 }>, align 8

define void @foo(i32* writeonly %.aaa) {
foo_entry:
  %_param_.aaa = alloca i32*, align 8
  store i32* %.aaa, i32** %_param_.aaa, align 8
  store i8 0, i8* getelementptr inbounds (%_type_of_d-ccc,
%_type_of_d-ccc* @d-ccc, i32 0, i32 3)
  ret void
}

$ opt -O3 x.ll
Attributes 'readnone and writeonly' are incompatible!
void (i32*)* @foo
in function foo
LLVM ERROR: Broken function found, compilation aborted!
The purpose of this changeset is to fix the above error. This fix is
based on a suggestion from Johannes @jdoerfert (many thanks!!!)
