>> Checking whether the indexes of masked lanes are inside of the valid memory boundary is necessary for masked vector memory access. However, this could be saved if the given offset is inside of the vector range that could make sure no IOOBE (IndexOutOfBoundaryException) happens. The masked load APIs have saved this kind of check for common cases. And this patch did the similar optimization for the masked vector store.
