Summary
The CommutativeCancellation and CommutationAnalysis passes were previously iterating over the full set of wires in the DAGCircuit. However the wire list contains classical bits and also classical variables after #12204 merges. The only thing these passes are concerned about are computing whether quantum operations commute and therefore don't need to work with any classical components in the DAG. In general these exta iterations were just no-ops because there wouldn't be anything evaluated on the wires, but doing this will avoid any potential overhead and limiting the search space to just where there is potential work to do.
