# Issue

The Valhalla test `compiler/valhalla/inlinetypes/TestArrayCopy.java#AlwaysIncrementalInline` crashes intermittently in `ProjNode::adr_type()` when asserting `adr_type != nullptr`.

# Cause

We are in the process of cleaning up an unreacheable subgraph and we get to a situation like this one:

We have a Tuple node with top inputs followed by memory projection. Later in the same ideal loop, while running Ideal for the `MemoryMerge` node, we query the type of its memory Proj input, which skips the Tuple here:

and returns its corresponding input (`2`), which is top (and its `adr_type` returns `nullptr`)

# Fix

We should probably check for `ctrl` being top (for this situation) additionally to `nullptr`.

# Testing

Tier 1-3+
Failing test before and after.
