ART: Removes SuspendCheck for plain loops with a low trip count.

This change removes SuspendCheck for plain loops with a low trip count.

The SuspendCheck in the codegen makes sure that the thread can be
interrupted during execution for GC. Not being able to do so might
decrease the responsiveness of GC in the case when a very long loop
or a long recursion is being executed.

However, for plain loops with a small trip count, the removal of
SuspendCheck should not affect the GC's responsiveness by a large
margin. Consequently, since the thread won't be interrupted for
plain loops, it is assumed that the performance might increase
by removing SuspendCheck.
