Please review this patch which reduces the number of heap allocations when executing the withfield bytecode with C1.
The CR linked below contains a more detailed description of the optimization:

CR: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8251046

A rudimentary benchmark shows encouraging numbers:
Measuring inline type creation time with -XX:TieredStopAtLevel=1
Inline class Point has two int fields.
Inline class Rectangle has four int fields.

Without the optimization:
Benchmark                                Mode  Samples   Score  Score error  Units
o.s.MyBenchmark.testPointCreation        avgt      200   7.573        0.027  ns/op
o.s.MyBenchmark.testRectangleCreation    avgt      200  21.387        0.067  ns/op

With the optimization:
Benchmark                                Mode  Samples  Score  Score error  Units
o.s.MyBenchmark.testPointCreation        avgt      200  5.284        0.014  ns/op
o.s.MyBenchmark.testRectangleCreation    avgt      200  7.750        0.082  ns/op

Tested manually and with Mach5, tiers 1 to 3 (with Tobias' changes enabling more C1 testing).

Thank you,

Fred
