s/bais/bias/

Even better, re-word the comment. Maybe "Test that repeated SMI->FAST
transitions are avoided by initializing Arrays with FAST_ELEMENTS right away"?
And then I'd add the inverse of the check at the end before messing with the
bias:

if (support_smi_only_arrays) {
  assertTrue(%HasFastSmiOnlyElements(new Array()));
}

+// to FAST_ELEMENTs.
+// TODO(danno): Remove this code when bias for early ElementsKind transition is
+// tracked per allocation site and not globally.
