Fixed 6711117: Assertion in 64bit server vm (flat != TypePtr::BOTTOM,"cannot alias-analyze an untyped ptr")
Problem:
The assert is triggered by the eliminate AutoBox code which asks
an alias type of "NULL+off" address type.
It is caused by the memory node processing during IGVN before
its control edge which checks the address's nullness is processed.
Solution:
Delay a memory node transformation if its control on IGVN worklist.
Delay a memory node transformation if its address on IGVN worklist.
Execute the eliminate AutoBox code only when the address is not NULL.
Use replace_node() instead of subsume_node() during macro nodes
expansion to put users of the old node on IGVN worklist.
