[vector] RFR: Unify VectorMaskCmp shape between x86 and aarch64

[Viswanathan, Sandhya]

Hi Paul,

If the webrev looks good to you, we can proceed with check-in.
There is no problem with the Java portion or the test case.

Looks like the issue comes up when running jtreg with -avm. 
Which indicates there is some problem when reusing the JVM to run jtreg tests. 
It comes only when running multiple tests and never standalone and never with -ovm (default). 

Best Regards,
Sandhya

Looks ok to me, I don’t quite feel qualified to review the aarch64 changes, but I checked for similar matching patterns in x86.ad.
