Indeed the ts->mem_coherent = 1 is wrong in the TEMP_VAL_CONST.

Because the move is likely to be eliminated by the code below,
especially if the temp is dead in addition.

temp_dead only mark the temp as dead, it doesn't save it.

The goal of to first block is to move the value to a register in case a
sync is needed, and the sync is done at this moment. The ots->fixed_reg
can indeed by merged into the first block, but the rest has to stay there.

The sync is done here because it has not been done in the first block.
It's different than in the ts->val_type == TEMP_VAL_CONST
