RFR(S) 8046233: VerifyError on backward branch

[Coleen Phillimore]

This comment in stackMapFrame.hpp seems orphaned since the function was 
removed.

*     // Search local variable type array and stack type array.*

The code change appears to match your description as much as I 
understand it.

Thanks,
Coleen
