Description
The short branches could be used in biased locking code on x86 and amd64
to reduce the code size.
Use this bug for next optimization:
Generate biased locking code in C2 ideal graph instead of
using FastLock/FastUnlock mach nodes.

Comments
SUGGESTED FIX Solution: - Inline biased locking code in C2 ideal graph during macro nodes expansion. Use new flag UseOptoBiasInlining to gate new code. Set the flag ON by default. - Add new ideal node StoreIConditional and use existing StoreLConditional node for cas stores into object's mark word. Fix implementation of StoreLConditional for that. - Allow tlsLoadP mach node to return a value in any P register on x86 32-bits (instead of only EAX). - Added new OR mach node to avoid casting of TLS pointer. Additional fixes: - Delay a memory node igvn transformation until its address is processed (the fix for the problem described in 6759776). - Add missing check for the lock code on x86 into Assembler::locate_operand(). - Pin a SafePointScalarObject node to the control edge of the SafePoint node for which it was generated. - Fix size's format in OutOfMemoryError message.
