Summary
When a non-escaping pointer is compared to a global value, the
comparison can be folded even if the corresponding malloc/allocation
call cannot be elided.
We need to make sure the global value is not null, since comparisons to
null cannot be folded.
In future, we should also handle cases when the the comparison
instruction dominates the pointer escape.

Summary:
We can fold compares to false when two distinct allocations within a
function are compared for equality.

Summary:
If we know that the pointer allocated within a function does not escape,
we can fold away comparisons that are done with global pointers
