> This fixes a quality of implementation issue for infinite loops using a NeverBranch node. We need Block::succ_prob() to return 1.0f for the 100% successful back-edge so that block frequencies are computed correctly. I also fixed Block_Stack::most_frequent_successor() to choose the correct successor. I verified that this corrects the huge frequency ratio that was detected and clamped by JDK-8346888.

> Currently this bug is labeled noreg-hard with no new regression test, as it's not obvious how to write such as test.
