Tiered: Reprofiling doesn't happen in presence of level 4 OSR methods

        When we deopt from a C2-compiled method and request reprofiling (we're at level 0 at this point) natually we would want to start reprofiling in the interpreter and queue up a level 3 compile and continue profiling at level 3 when it arrives. However, when we decide to which level to switch we check the max comp level of OSR version of the method. If a this level is 4 and there's been more than one profiled invocation we would choose to compile at level 4. This is to avoid deopt loops when we deopt and switch to a higher level OSR method.

        So, need to handle the situation differently. The solution is to check whether a OSR would be possible at all at the moment (by calling the transition function with a loop predicate), and then checking what OSR methods are currently available.
