[Bug java/21044] New: Static class init optimization is broken

[aph at gcc dot gnu dot org]

Pre tree-SSA, we did an optimization whereby we only initialized a class once
per method invocation.  This optimization was disabled for some reason, and we
now call _Jv_InitClass multiple times.

The worst case is a simple function like this:

     public static int Ack(int m, int n) {
         return (m == 0) ? (n + 1) : ((n == 0) ? Ack(m-1, 1) :
                                      Ack(m-1, Ack(m, n - 1)));
     }

where Jv_InitClass is now called four times, leading to very poor performance.
