[lworld] RFR: 8262863: [lworld] C2 should keep track of the oop even if an inline type is returned as fields [v2]

[Tobias Hartmann]

> If an inline type is returned, its fields are passed in registers if possible. The first register (rax) either contains a pointer to the InlineKlass to allow buffering in interpreted or C1 compiled callers or an oop if the inline type has already been buffered. Currently, a C2 compiled caller completely ignores the first register and just uses the field values returned in the other registers.
> 
> With this patch, C2 checks if an oop is returned and keeps track of it to avoid unnecessary re-buffering. This significantly boosts performance of cases were inlining fails and the callee is interpreted, C1 compiled or had to buffer the inline type for another reason (for example, due a store to a non-flattened field/array).
