This is a fix for use-before-def of an auxSlotPtrSym.
When there is a LdFld which is a candidate of ReuseAuxSlotSymPtr optimization inside the loop which has no backedge (all are dead), the DeadStore phase never marks SetProducesAuxSlotPtr on the opnd.
This is because we don't merge upwardExposedUses on dead edges, and so the optimization never sees a set bit of the auxSlotPtrSym in upwardExposedUses in the 2nd pass.
Ideally, if GlobOpt reset block->loopbfor such loops after GlobOpt::RemoveCodeAfterNoFallThroughInstr we wouldn't be seeing this.
With this change we have a new bit vector called auxSlotPtrUpwardExposedUses which we merge on even dead successor edges to fix this issue.
