Comment (by parcs):

 This patch removed the last user of the constructor
 `LambdaFormInfo.LFBlackHole`. A comment in the code alludes to removing
 it, and now it is possible to do so. See
 https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/browser/ghc/compiler/codeGen/StgCmmClosure.hs#L183

 So, should it be removed now?
