This was found during the course of Compact String work. This manifests in Integer.toString and Long.toString changes there.
It boils down to this. When there is a strength reduction opportunity to reduce multiplication to shift, it fails when we have a
non-trivial control flow preceding the argument. The breakage would only happen if the alternative branch is not folded into
uncommon trap.

    int idx;
    boolean flag;

    @Benchmark
    public void mult() {
        doMult();
    }

    @CompilerControl(CompilerControl.Mode.DONT_INLINE)
    private int doMult() {
        int mult = flag ? 1 : 2;
        return idx * mult;
    }
