> In CCP, we transform the nodes going up (toward inputs) starting from root and safepoints because infinite loops can be reachable from the root, but not co-reachable from the root, that is one can follow def-use from root to the loop, but not the use-def from root to loop. For more details, see:

> Since we are specifically marking nodes as useful if they are above a safepoint, the check that no dead nodes must be there anymore must also consider nodes above a safepoint as alive: the same criterion must apply. We should nevertheless not start from a safepoint killed by CCP.

> About the test, I use this trick found in `TestInfiniteLoopCCP` because I indeed need a really infinite loop, but I want a terminating test. The crash is not deterministic, as it needs StressIGVN, so I did a bit of stats. Using a little helper script, on 100 runs, 69 runs fail as in the JBS ticket and 31 are successful (so 0 fail in another way). After the fix, I find 100 successes.
