found during JDK-8340093, and specifically its test TestReductions.longMulBig, and the related benchmark.

We already saw that it was not vectorizing here:
https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/25387

See also the attached test.

It seems that -XX:LoopUnrollLimit=1000 helps. Maybe the loop is too large? But there are other tests in TestReductions that seem to have similar many instructions... so not sure.

Without the flag, it compiles only during OSR, but not regular compilation.
With the flag, it compiles for OSR and regular compilation.
