[8u/9] RFR (S): 8154831: CastII/ConvI2L for a range check is prematurely eliminated

[Vladimir Ivanov]

Thanks for the feedback, Vladimir.

Fixed. Updated webrev.9.00 in place.

> Why CastIINode::cmp() returns uint?

That's how Node::cmp() is declared:

   virtual uint cmp( const Node &n ) const;

Best regards,
