[SCCP] Teach the pass about `mul %x 0` even if %x is overdefined.

The motivating example is:

extern int patatino;
int goo() {
    int x = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < 1000000; ++i) {
        x *= patatino;
    }
    return x;
}

Currently SCCP will not realize that this function returns always zero,
therefore will try to unroll and vectorize the loop at -O3 producing an
awful lot of (useless) code. With this change, it will just produce:

0000000000000000 <g>:
   xor    %eax,%eax
   retq
