[JDK-8356949](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8356949)

This change is the aarch64 version of [JDK-8352415](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8352415). 

To improve interpreter performance, which is important for faster startup, the method entry code was refactored to reuse some memory accesses and also spread them out to allow more latency-hiding hardware mechanisms to kick in.

Additional testing:

- [x] Ad-hoc -Xint benchmarks
- [x] Linux aarch64 server fastdebug, tier 1/2/3/4
