[aarch64-port-dev ] RFR(S) 8190817: deopt special-case for _return_register_finalizer is confusing and leads to bugs

[Dmitrij Pochepko]

Hi,

I've built clean fastdebug build with this patch and run 
compiler/runtime/Test8168712.java on AArch64 (ThunderX) and it passed.

Please note that this test can't be run on AArch64 by default because of 
@requires tag. I had to update this tag first. Btw: I wonder if it 
should be also updated as a part of this patch?


I also took a look at Aarch64-specific change and it looks good to 
me(not a Reviewer).


Thanks,

Dmitrij
