This changeset ensures that reduction nodes are unmarked as such if they are extracted out of their associated reduction loop by the peel/main/post loop transformation (`PhaseIdealLoop::insert_pre_post_loops()`). This prevents SLP from wrongly vectorizing, as parallel reductions, outer non-reduction loops to which reduction nodes have been extracted. A more detailed analysis of the failure is available in the [JBS bug report](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8279622).

This invariant could be alternatively placed together with other assertions under `-XX:+VerifyLoopOptimizations`, but [this option is known to be broken](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8173709).

The assertion described above compensates this limitation.
