Unnecessary memcpy with mir-opt-level=2 and above  #77506

Description

@MSxDOS
pub fn test() -> Vec<u32> {
    let mut vec = Vec::with_capacity(2);
    vec.push(1);    
    vec.push(2);
    vec
}

mir-opt-level=1:

        push    rbx
        mov     rbx, rdi
        mov     edi, 8
        mov     esi, 4
        call    qword ptr [rip + __rust_alloc@GOTPCREL]
        test    rax, rax
        je      .LBB1_1
        mov     qword ptr [rbx], rax
        movaps  xmm0, xmmword ptr [rip + .LCPI1_0]
        movups  xmmword ptr [rbx + 8], xmm0
	mov     rdi, rbx
        mov     esi, 1
        call    alloc::vec::Vec<T>::push
        mov     rdi, rbx
        mov     esi, 2
        call    alloc::vec::Vec<T>::push
        mov     rax, rbx
        pop     rbx
        ret
.LBB1_1:
        mov     edi, 8
        mov     esi, 4
        call    qword ptr [rip + alloc::alloc::handle_alloc_error@GOTPCREL]
        ud2

mir-opt-level=2
And here it looks like the whole Vec struct is getting copied to a temp stack location for push and then to the final dest:

	push    r14
        push    rbx
        sub     rsp, 24
        mov     rbx, rdi
        mov     edi, 8
        mov     esi, 4
        call    qword ptr [rip + __rust_alloc@GOTPCREL]
	test    rax, rax
        je      .LBB1_1
        mov     qword ptr [rsp], rax
        movaps  xmm0, xmmword ptr [rip + .LCPI1_0]
        movups  xmmword ptr [rsp + 8], xmm0
        mov     r14, rsp
        mov     rdi, r14
        mov     esi, 1
        call    alloc::vec::Vec<T>::push
	mov     rdi, r14
        mov     esi, 2
        call    alloc::vec::Vec<T>::push
        mov     rax, qword ptr [rsp + 16]
        mov     qword ptr [rbx + 16], rax
        movups  xmm0, xmmword ptr [rsp]
        movups  xmmword ptr [rbx], xmm0
	mov     rax, rbx
        add     rsp, 24
        pop     rbx
        pop     r14
        ret
.LBB1_1:
        mov     edi, 8
        mov     esi, 4
        call    qword ptr [rip + alloc::alloc::handle_alloc_error@GOTPCREL]
        ud2

cc @jonas-schievink Aren't those supposed to be rather eliminated by #72632 ? That said, I've seen 2 and especially 3 producing worse code than 1 even before it landed so there may be something else interfering.
