[Bug translator/11590] New: optimized pre/postfix operators on variable throw away initial variable assignment

[mjw at redhat dot com]

The following testcase shows that the original assignment of the variable is
ignored:

probe begin {

        a = 5

        // printf("%d ", a)
        printf("%d ", (a++))
        printf("%d ", (++a))
        printf("%d ", (a--))
        printf("%d\n", (--a))
        exit()
}

$ stap test.stp
0 2 2 0

If we uncomment the actually first use the original assigned value of a things
look correct:

$ stap test.stp
5 5 7 7 5

This is an translation optimization issue, the original script also prints out
the correct value when unoptimized:

$ stap -u test.stp
5 7 7 5
