When this happens the current Regex of the IR-based test framework will NOT recognize the instruction sequence as an allocation and the result will be a false-negative test results.

I guess this is not a problem anymore since the integration of https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/14583 which removed `UseTLAB` from the whitelist. We will not automatically perform any IR matching anymore when passing `-XX:-UseTLAB` as additional `javaoption/vmoption`.
