Ah, you are right of course. It shouldn't be conditional, but it will take a
VRP pass to notice that. If I schedule another FRE right after VRP1, things
optimize nicely, and after some cleanup by DOM+DSE, DCE2 can remove all
malloc+free. However, if I don't add this extra FRE pass, we somehow don't
manage. Note that in the PRE dump, with just your patch (no extra pass), I see:

  pretmp_92 = 1;
  _235 = pretmp_92;
  if (_235 == 0)

and these conditions seem to be what prevents us from finishing the job.
