> This patch changes the algorithm of `Node::dominates` to make the result more precise, and allows the iterators of `ConcurrentHashMap` to be scalar replaced.
> 
> The previous algorithm will return a conservative result when encountering a dead control flow, and only try the first two input paths of a multi-input Region node, which may prevent the scalar replacement in some cases.
> 
> For example, with G1 GC enabled, C2 generates GC barriers for `ConcurrentHashMap` iteration operations at some early phases, and then eliminates them in a later IGVN, but `LoadNode` is also idealized in the same IGVN. This causes `LoadNode::Ideal` to see some dead barrier control flows, and refuse to split some instance field loads through Phi due to the conservative result of `Node::dominates`, and thus the scalar replacement can not be applied to iterators in the later macro elimination phase.
> 
> This patch allows `Node::dominates` to try other paths of the last multi-input Region node when the first path is dead, and makes `ConcurrentHashMap` iteration ~30% faster:
