niter_desc is not marked GTY(()) but is cached from struct loop aux field.

niter_desc uses heap memory but points to GC memory.  Thus, caching of this

across passes is not safe.



I suppose passes are missing free_simple_loop_desc, loop-doloop.c calls

get_simple_loop_desc but never free_simple_loop_desc for example (which

then at least leaks the niter_desc memory).
