7071307: MethodHandle bimorphic inlining should consider the frequency Reviewed-by:

The fix for 7050554 added a bimorphic inline path but didn't take into account the frequency of the guarding test. This ends up treating both sides of the if as equally frequent which can lead to over inlining and overflowing the method inlining limits. The fix is to grab the frequency from the If and apply that to the branches. This addresses a major source of overinlining that can result in bad performance with JSR 292. We may do a later extension to this to actually do per call chain profiling of selectAlternative but that's a more complicated fix.

I also fixed a problem with the ideal graph printer where debug_orig printing would go into an infinite loop.

Tested with jruby and vm.mlvm tests.
