This goal of this PR is fix the jtreg test failure observed in compiler test: `test/hotspot/jtreg/compiler/loopopts/superword/TestDependencyOffsets.java`
The test failure is occurring specifically for the tests with ids = {avx512-v064-A, avx512-v064-U, avx512-v032-A, avx512-v032-U}. These tests are run with KNL hardware features enabled (`-XX:+UseKNLSetting`).
The two main causes of test failure are:
1. KNL does not support Intel APX. Currently, APX is not turned off when using KNL. This PR fixes this issue.
2. BMI2 instructions like sarxl are encoded incorrectly with `uses_vl=true` (use vector length). This PR fixes the encoding to use the correct one:`uses_vl=false`.
After fixing these two bugs, `TestDependencyOffsets.java` is passing using the SDE emulator when APX is enabled.
