beam_block: Eliminate crash in beam_utils
Somewhat simplified, beam_block would rewrite the target for the first instruction in this code sequence: move x(0) => y(1) gc_bif '+' 1 x(0) => y(0) move y(1) => x(1) move nil => x(0) call 2 local_function/2 The resulting code would be: move x(0) => x(1) %% Changed target. gc_bif '+' 1 x(0) => y(0) move x(1) => y(1) %% Operands swapped (see 02d6135813). move nil => x(0) call 2 local_function/2 The resulting code is not safe because the x(1) will be killed by the gc_bif instruction. 7a47b20c3a cleaned up move optimizations and would reject the optimization if the target was an X register and an allocating instruction was found. To avoid this bug, the optimization must be rejected even if the target is a Y register.
