-C linker-plugin-lto prevents vectorization of mem::swap at -C opt-level=3 #124234

Description

@DaniPopes

I tried this code (godbolt):

pub type T = [u64; 4];

#[no_mangle]
pub fn swap_32(a: &mut T, b: &mut T) {
    std::mem::swap(a, b);
    unsafe {
        // std::ptr::swap(a, b);
        // std::ptr::swap_nonoverlapping(a, b, 1);
    }
}

I expected to see this happen: code optimizes to a few <_ x i64> (target-cpu-dependent) loads and stores on -C opt-level=3.

Instead, this happened: the code is not vectorized when -C linker-plugin-lto is also passed to the compiler (this is passed together with -Clto=... but that has no effect here)

Note that this only happens with mem::swap/ptr::swap_nonoverlapping, not ptr::swap.

This happens since at least 1.61, but I could not find a way to bisect this, so I opted not to mark this a regression.
