    Properly honor param_max_fsm_thread_path_insns in backwards threader

    I am trying to make sense of back_threader_profitability::profitable_path_p
    and the first thing I notice is that we do

      /* Threading is profitable if the path duplicated is hot but also
         in a case we separate cold path from hot path and permit optimization
         of the hot path later.  Be on the agressive side here. In some
testcases,
         as in PR 78407 this leads to noticeable improvements.  */
      if (m_speed_p
          && ((taken_edge && optimize_edge_for_speed_p (taken_edge))
              || contains_hot_bb))
        {
          if (n_insns >= param_max_fsm_thread_path_insns)
            {
              if (dump_file && (dump_flags & TDF_DETAILS))
                fprintf (dump_file, "  FAIL: Jump-thread path not considered: "
                         "the number of instructions on the path "
                         "exceeds PARAM_MAX_FSM_THREAD_PATH_INSNS.\n");
              return false;
            }
    ...
        }
      else if (!m_speed_p && n_insns > 1)
        {
          if (dump_file && (dump_flags & TDF_DETAILS))
            fprintf (dump_file, "  FAIL: Jump-thread path not considered: "
                     "duplication of %i insns is needed and optimizing for
size.\n",
                     n_insns);
          return false;
        }
    ...
      return true;

    thus we apply the n_insns >= param_max_fsm_thread_path_insns only
    to "hot paths".  The comment above this isn't entirely clear whether
    this is by design ("Be on the aggressive side here ...") but I think
    this is a mistake.  In fact the "hot path" check seems entirely
    useless since if the path is not hot we simply continue threading it.

    This was caused by r12-324-g69e5544210e3c0 and the following simply
    reverts the offending change.

            * tree-ssa-threadbackward.cc
            (back_threader_profitability::profitable_path_p): Apply
            size constraints to all paths again.
