RFR 8171988: backout of 8062389, 8029459, 8061950

[Peter Levart]

Hi Jeff,

I've been told that the latest change I pushed causes some tests to 
fail, so I prepared a backout patch for 8062389, 8029459, 8061950:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~plevart/jdk9-dev/Class.getMethods.new/backout.09/webrev.01/

 From the stacktrace of the bug report, it seems an early initialization 
issue with VarHandle(s) involved. Can you shed some light into what 
tests are failing? But first let us backout that change.

Regards, Peter

I don’t have much more detail besides the below bug, but I’m wondering if you could do us a huge favor and roll your change back for now while it’s debugged (and so we can get our automated tests going again).
