Clear the SCEVExpander's insertion point after making deletions,

so that the SCEVExpander doesn't retain a dangling pointer as its
insert position. The dangling pointer in this case wasn't ever used
to insert new instructions, but it was causing trouble with
SCEVExpander's code for automatically advancing its insert position
past debug intrinsics.

This fixes use-after-free errors that valgrind noticed in
test/Transforms/IndVarSimplify/2007-06-06-DeleteDanglesPtr.ll and
test/Transforms/IndVarSimplify/exit_value_tests.ll.
