**Issue**
When a test program with no loop is run with flag `-XX:PrintPhaseLevel=3,` the output prints `PHASE_AFTER_LOOP_OPTS `but does not print `PHASE_BEFORE_LOOP_OPTS`
**Solution**
This simple fix introduces a variable `_print_phase_loop_opts` that caches the value of `has_loops()` before loop opts pass to make sure that `PHASE_AFTER_LOOP_OPTS` gets printed every time `PHASE_BEFORE_LOOP_OPTS` is printed.
