Sorry for misunderstand.
Updated the patch.

As you said, loop_optimizer_finalize is also called from where dominator
info is not ready, e.g. called from: vrp(execute_vrp).
At there, loop exits info is not ready, and then
get_loop_exit_edges/get_loop_body_with_size function does not work.

Yeap, get it! Thanks, will update the patch accordingly.

Thansk! This could also save some code in replace_uses_by.
