[InstCombine] Don't canonicalize (gep i8* X, -(ptrtoint Y)) as (inttoptr (sub (ptrtoint X), (ptrtoint Y)))
It's just a wrong thing to do.
We introduce inttoptr where there were none, which results in
loosing all provenance information because we no longer have a GEP{i,},
and pessimize all future optimizations,
because we are basically not allowed to look past `inttoptr`.
(gep i8* X, -(ptrtoint Y)) *is* the canonical form.
So just drop this fold.
Noticed while reviewing D98120.
