The code has been there since 2005 before I'm involved.
 It looks to me at the beginning both mov<mode> and
*mov<mode>_internal only support nonimmediate_operand for the
operands[1].
And r0-75606-g5656a184e83983 adjusted the nonimmediate_operand to
nonimmediate_or_sse_const_operand for *mov<mode>_internal, but not for
mov<mode>. I think we can align the predicate between mov<mode>
and *mov<mode>_internal.

gcc/ChangeLog:

	* config/i386/sse.md (mov<mode>): Align predicates for
	operands[1] between mov<mode> and *mov<mode>_internal.
	* config/i386/mmx.md (mov<mode>): Ditto.
