During the transforms in LoopSimplifyCFG, when we remove a dead exiting edge, the
parent loop may stop being reachable from the child loop, and therefore they become
siblings. If the former child loop had uses of some values from its former parent loop,
now such uses will require LCSSA Phis, even if they weren't needed before. So we must
form LCSSA for all loops that stopped being ancestors of the current loop in this case.

The problem I saw goes away with this patch and I haven't seen any new failures with the limited testing I've done on the patch. Thanks!
I don't know this code though, so I don't know if this is the way the problem should be solved.
