// This pass founds cases when BBs have layout:
// #BB0:
// ....
// #BB1:
// cmp
// cond_jmp #BB3
// #BB2:
// <loop body>
// jmp #BB1
// #BB3:
// <loop exit>
//
// And swaps BB1 and BB2:
// #BB0:
// ....
// jmp #BB1
// #BB2:
// <loop body>
// #BB1:
// cmp
// cond_njmp #BB2
// #BB3:
// <loop exit>
//
// And vice versa depending on the profile information.
// The advantage is that the loop uses only one conditional jump,
// the unconditional jump is only used once on the loop start.
