Extracting a bitfield from a vector can be achieved by casting the
vector to a new type whose elements are the same size as the desired
bitfield, before generating a subreg. However, this is only an
optimization if the original vector can be accessed in the new
machine mode without first being copied - a condition denoted by the
TARGET_MODES_TIEABLE_P hook.
This patch adds a check to make sure that the vector modes are
tieable before attempting to generate a subreg. This is a necessary
prerequisite for a subsequent patch that will introduce new machine
modes for Arm Neon vector-tuple types.
