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.

Hi, I added an IR test to verify the optimization, now this patch is ready for review.
