An entity isn't transparent in a block that requires a specific mode.
optimize_mode_switching took that into account for normal insns,
but didn't for the exit block.  Later patches misbehaved because
of this.

In contrast, an entity was correctly marked as non-transparent
in the entry block, but the reasoning seemed a bit convoluted.
It also referred to a function that no longer exists.
Since KILL = ~TRANSP, the entity is by definition not transparent
in a block that defines the entity, so I think we can make it so
without comment.

Finally, the exit handling was nested in the entry handling,
but that doesn't seem necessary.  A target could say that an
entity is undefined on entry but must be defined on return,
on a "be liberal in what you accept, be conservative in what
you do" principle.

gcc/
	* mode-switching.cc (optimize_mode_switching): Mark the exit
	block as nontransparent if it requires a specific mode.
	Handle the entry and exit mode as sibling rather than nested
	concepts.  Remove outdated comment.
