Summary: Fix CAS of longs on SPARC 32bit and cmove on SPARC 64bit.
Reviewed-by: kvn

Summary: Implementation of the CAS primitive for x64 compressed oops was incorrect. It kills rscratch2 register (r11), which is allocatable in C1. Also, we don't need to restore cmpval as it's never used after that, so we need only one temporary register, which can be scratch1.

Summary: C1 with profiling doesn't check whether the MDO has been really allocated, which can silently fail if the perm gen is full. The solution is to check if the allocation failed and bailout out of inlining or compilation.
Reviewed-by: kvn, never

Summary: This change implements compressed oops for C1 for x64 and sparc. The changes are mostly on the codegen level, with a few exceptions when we do access things outside of the heap that are uncompressed from the IR. Compressed oops are now also enabled with tiered.
