[mlir][linalg] Prevent hoisting of transfer pairs in the presence of aliases (#145235)

This patch adds additional checks to the hoisting logic to prevent hoisting of
`vector.transfer_read` / `vector.transfer_write` pairs when the underlying
memref has users that introduce aliases via operations implementing
`ViewLikeOpInterface`.

Note: This may conservatively block some valid hoisting opportunities and could
affect performance. However, as demonstrated by the included tests, the current
logic is too permissive and can lead to incorrect transformations.

If this change prevents hoisting in cases that are provably safe, please share
a minimal repro - I'm happy to explore ways to relax the check.

Special treatment is given to `memref.assume_alignment`, mainly to accommodate
recent updates in:

* https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/139521

Note that such special casing does not scale and should generally be avoided.
The current hoisting logic lacks robust alias analysis. While better support
would require more work, the broader semantics of `memref.assume_alignment`
remain somewhat unclear. It's possible this op may eventually be replaced with
the "alignment" attribute added in:

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

Welcome to the LLVM project!

This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.

The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.

C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.

Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.

Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM

Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
