The Hexagon-specific constant extender optimization in LLVM may crash on
Linux kernel code [1], such as fs/bcache/btree_io.c after
commit 32ed4a620c54 ("bcachefs: Btree path tracepoints") in 6.12:
clang: llvm/lib/Target/Hexagon/HexagonConstExtenders.cpp:745: bool (anonymous namespace)::HexagonConstExtenders::ExtRoot::operator<(const HCE::ExtRoot &) const: Assertion `ThisB->getParent() == OtherB->getParent()' failed.
Stack dump:
0. Program arguments: clang --target=hexagon-linux-musl ... fs/bcachefs/btree_io.c
1. <eof> parser at end of file
2. Code generation
3. Running pass 'Function Pass Manager' on module 'fs/bcachefs/btree_io.c'.
4. Running pass 'Hexagon constant-extender optimization' on function '@__btree_node_lock_nopath'
Without assertions enabled, there is just a hang during compilation.
This has been resolved in LLVM main (20.0.0) [2] and backported to LLVM
19.1.0 but the kernel supports LLVM 13.0.1 and newer, so disable the
constant expander optimization using the '-mllvm' option when using a
toolchain that is not fixed.

Andrew, can you please take this for 6.13? Our CI continues to hit this.
Changes in v2:
- Rebase on 6.12 to make sure it is still applicable
- Name exact bcachefs commit that introduces crash now that it is
merged
- Add 'Cc: stable' as this is now visible in a stable release
- Carry forward Brian's reviewed-by
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240819-hexagon-disable-constant-expander-pass-v1-1-36a734e9527d@xxxxxxxxxx
