Hi:
  This is follow-up to [1], return INVALID_REGNUM instead of gcc_assert,
  also adjust some conditions guarded for reg_or_subregno.

[1] https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2022-June/596841.html

Bootstrapped and regtested on x86_64-pc-linux{-m32,}.
Ok for trunk?

gcc/ChangeLog:

	* combine.cc (try_combine): Replace condition with regno !=
	INVALID_REGNUM.
	* jump.cc (reg_or_subregno): Remove condition for (REG_P (x) ||
	(SUBREG_P (x) && REG_P (SUBREG_REG (x)))).
	* reload.cc (push_reload): Ditto.

Not okay.

This is at best obfuscation :-(

Subregs of non-reg have been deprecated for ages, and will be completely
phased out soon, and this patch goes in the wrong direction.  But also,
this change is obfuscation, in multiple ways.  Firstly, using a regno to
mean something is not a register at all, but worse, you use a number
that is a valid regnum (but too big to happen in practice of course) to
indicate this.  While in other places the negative -1 is used, which is
a bit more obvious.

>  	  && reg_or_subregno (in) < FIRST_PSEUDO_REGISTER)

... and then statements like this will implicitly do something for
subregs of memory, which is totally not obvious.

The combine pass still has explicit support for subregs of memory, and
the support for subregs is one of the more error-prone and non-obvious
parts of combine in the first place.  Anything that makes things harder
here will not be approved.
