The multiple exit comes bounds checking (which VRP does not remove still
because we don't pull out a load of the length).
If we add -fno-bounds-checks, we get:
Test.java:7: note: not vectorized: too many BBs in loop.
Test.java:11: note: not vectorized: too many BBs in loop.
Test.java:6: note: vectorized 0 loops in function.
And this is because we have a label in the loop (and the tree CFG
does not remove user labels, maybe setting DECL_ARTIFICIAL on the
labels will fix this fully).
