> `PhaseIdealLoop::try_sink_out_of_loop()` tries to move nodes outside a loop. It doesn't work well for cast nodes which accompany `Allocate` nodes: the cast reifies the effect instance initialization and turns a raw pointer into an oop. Once the cast node doesn't immediately follow the corresponding `Initialize`, it creates a window where the raw pointer is observed. And it can become so wide that the raw pointer crosses a safepoint and has to be recorded in the oop map (that's the case when the reported assertion failure happens).
>
> Proposed fix is to keep such cast nodes intact. Moreover, I propose to disable the optimization for all flavors of cast nodes.
> Cast nodes usually accompany runtime checks and I don't see much benefit in moving the cast node away while leaving the runtime check inside the loop.
>
> Testing: hs-tier1 - hs-tier6
