RFR: 8072817: CardTableExtension kind() should be BarrierSet::CardTableExtension

[Jesper Wilhelmsson]

Hi Kim,

Looks good in general.

In src/cpu/aarch64/vm/macroAssembler_aarch64.cpp there is a comma between the 
two checks:

+  assert(bs->kind() == BarrierSet::CardTableForRS,
+         bs->kind() == BarrierSet::CardTableExtension,
+         "Wrong barrier set kind");

I assume there should be a ||

Besides that the patch seems to do what you described below.

Thanks,
/Jesper
