> This PR adresses a missed optimization in `CmpLNode::Ideal`. It occurs when when we encode a pointer comparison as `CmpL(OrL(left, right), 0L)` (which essentially translates to "both operands are null") during parsing in `do_acmp`, and this comparison can later be folded to a constant in `CmpLNode::Ideal` because one of the operands has a `NotNull` type. This optimization hides behind `can_reshape`, so it can only be carried out during IGVN and not during the initial GVN pass. To fix this, we just need to make sure to add the compare to the worklist during parsing.
