RFR(M) 8151003 remove nds validity checks from vex x86 assembler

[Vladimir Kozlov]

Bug number in links is incorrect. Should be:

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8151003
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mcberg/8151003/webrev.02/

Changes looks good. Very nice clean up. I will start testing.

I see you changed code for AVX > 2 in macroAssembler_x86.hpp. Is it 
because new instructions faster or to avoid mixing evex and non-evex 
instructions?

Thanks,
Vladimir
