Hmm, when you do RTl profiling do you need the tree tables?
If so, it is fine to keep it here.

It is not terribly expensive to count them, but probably it is fine to
do it this way.

Hmm, there is other call to dump_flow_info earlier, so lets keep it this
way.
The moving to rest_of_compilation would save one conditional and in the
case we will move to some kind of pass manager, we will need to do it
anyway.

I know that the nested modify_exprs happens only for C++, but I am not
quite sure in what scenarios.  I checked some other passes and they all
seems to skip RETURN_EXPR here, so lets just be on safe side.

Thanks.
