cmd/compile: re-use regalloc's []valState

Updates #27739: reduces package ssa's allocated space by 3.77%.

maxrss is harder to measure, but using best-of-three-runs
as reported by /usr/bin/time -l, I see ~2% reduction in maxrss.

We still have a long way to go, though; the new maxrss is still 1.1gb.
