Backporting JDK-8376104 C2 crashes in PhiNode::Ideal(PhaseGVN*, bool) accessing NULL pointer

This PR backports the fix for C2 segmentation fault that occurs on nullptr dereferencing when the call to MemNode::optimize_memory_chain within PhiNode::Ideal can kill the Phi node itself.

tier1 is OK

make test TEST=hotspot_compiler is OK

/approval request I'd like to backport this to jdk26u. Clean backport. Tier1 is OK. This fix prevents a JVM segmentation fault during C2 optimization caused by dereferencing a nullptr while processing a dead node. It introduces a node check to ensure the node is not killed during optimization, that scenario was not processed before.
