> The goal of this PR is to fix the performance regression in Arrays.fill() x86 stubs caused by masked AVX stores. The fix is to replace the masked AVX stores with store instructions without masks (i.e. unmasked stores). `fill32_masked()` and `fill64_masked()` stubs are replaced with `fill32_unmasked()` and `fill64_unmasked()` respectively.
>
> To speedup unmasked stores, array fills for sizes < 64 bytes are broken down into sequences of 32B, 16B, 8B, 4B, 2B and 1B stores, depending on the size.

> ### **Performance comparison for byte array fills in a loop for 1 million times**
