Hi,
value class MyValue {
MyValue other;
}
A cyclic field is not aggressively scalarized, so when we obtain an object of `MyValue`, the field `other` stays as a `LoadP`. When we go `getfield` from a `MyValue`, we obtain the `LoadP` into the state map. We have `InlineTypeNode::adjust_scalarization_depth` but it only has its effect if the field is already an `InlineTypeNode`. We need to add a case to scalarize if the obtained field is an oop.
Many thanks to @TobiHartmann for the test case.
Please kindly review, thanks a lot.
