Hi,
Can you help to review this simple improvement?

By rvv spec,
"integer compare instructions write 1 to the destination mask register element if the comparison evaluates to true, and 0 otherwise."
"These vector FP compare instructions compare two source operands and write the comparison result to a mask register. "

So, it's not always necessary to clear the mask register before vector comparison operation, e.g. when `vm != Assembler::v0_t`.

Thanks!
