Currently in DFG JIT, we try to reuse the physical register of an operand for temporary usage if the current use of the operand is the last use. But sometimes this can be wrong, for example if there are possible speculation failures and we need to fallback to baseline JIT, the value of the operand which is supposed to be hold in the physical register can be modified by register reusing. The fixes the last inspector failures in layout test on Mac 32-bit if switching on DFG. (BTW, I didn't observe the failure in Gtk+ port on Linux ia32 as the inspector tests are skipped in Gtk layout test, and only w/ a 32-bit Mac environment setup today can I notice this failure...)
