Additional fix for Compose:

directly search for fields in IR class w/o using the symbol table.
Because Compose copies whole IR, fields got referenced incorrectly.
In the end, bytecode generator thinks that this is a field from other
class and creates a synthetic setter, which is prohibited in Java 9+
(Update to non-static final field ... attempted from a different method than <init>)

(cherry picked from commit 18e7a14)
