Bad code for Double literals

Caught by the vector benchmark suite. Small program:

foo :: [Double] -> [Double]
foo = map f
  where
    f x = 1 / x

The current head generates this rather terrible code (with -O2):

foo3 :: GHC.Integer.Type.Integer
foo3 = __integer 1

foo2 :: GHC.Types.Double
foo2 =
  case GHC.Integer.Type.doubleFromInteger foo3
  of wild_afu { __DEFAULT ->
  GHC.Types.D# wild_afu
  }

foo1 :: GHC.Types.Double -> GHC.Types.Double
foo1 =
  \ (eta_B1 :: GHC.Types.Double) ->
    GHC.Float.divideDouble foo2 eta_B1

foo :: [GHC.Types.Double] -> [GHC.Types.Double]
foo = GHC.Base.map @ GHC.Types.Double @ GHC.Types.Double foo1

It does generate perfectly fine code for this, though:

bar :: [Double] -> [Double]
bar = map (\x -> 1/x)
