When incrementing backedge counters in a c1 method some forward branches can be mistaken for back branches: when a If is converted to a Goto, the Goto is marked as a safepoint even if the branch that is kept is the forward branch. When a Goto is marked as a safepoint, profiling code is emitted for a back branch so we can end up doing an OSR compile for a back branch that is never taken to some code the compiler thinks is unreachable.
