This patch improves the RTL that the middle-end generates for testing
signed overflow following a widening multiplication. During this
expansion the middle-end generates a truncation which can get used
multiple times. Placing this intermediate value in a pseudo register
reduces the amount of code generated on platforms where this truncation
requires an explicit instruction.

gcc/ChangeLog:
* internal-fn.c (expand_mul_overflow): When checking for signed
overflow from a widening multiplication, we access the truncated
lowpart RES twice, so keep this value in a pseudo register.
