> Currently, we have some matching rules to do the conversion [[1]](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/master/src/hotspot/cpu/aarch64/aarch64.ad#L16179). But the predicate here [[2]](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/master/src/hotspot/cpu/aarch64/aarch64.ad#L6140) matches wrong `BoolTest` masks, so these rules fail to convert. I guess it's a typo introduced in [JDK-8160006](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8160006). The patch fixes it.

LGTM. Now the predicate the same as riscv's `cmpOpUEqNeLeGt` operand.
