Ian Romanick bf2eb3e0ee soft-fp64: Split a block that was missing a cast on a comparison
This function has code like:

   if (0x7FD <= zExp) {
      if ((0x7FD < zExp) ||
         ((zExp == 0x7FD) &&
            (0x001FFFFFu == zFrac0 && 0xFFFFFFFFu == zFrac1) &&
               increment)) {
         ...
	 return ...;
      }
      if (zExp < 0) {

I saw that, and I thought, "Uh... what?  Dead code?"  I thought it was a
bit fishy, so I grabbed the Berkeley SoftFloat Library 3e code, and
there is similar code in softfloat_roundPackToF64
(source/s_roundPackToF64.c), but it has an extra (uint16_t) cast in the
first comparison.  This is basicially a shortcut for

   if (zExp < 0 || zExp >= 0x7FD) {

So, having the nesting kind of makes sense. On a CPU, nesting the flow
control can be an optimization.  On a GPU, it's just fail.  Split the
block so that we don't need the uint16_t cast magic.

Results on the 308 shaders extracted from the fp64 portion of the OpenGL
CTS:

Tiger Lake and Ice Lake had similar results. (Tiger Lake shown)
