I hope the comments in the new code are self-explanatory. This rewrite allows us to ditch
resolve_fwd_ptr and its awkward borrowing scheme. Since it is removing two of three fwdptr resolves,
it also considerably improves the generated code quality for CAS -- which is measurable on
microbenchmarks.
The AArch64 counterpart comes later in JDK-8232782.
