RFR(S): 8038624:interpretedVFrame::expressions() must respect InterpreterOopMap for liveness

Markus,

This is really disturbing because deoptimization uses this code to 
layout the interpreter frame (unpack_on_stack).  Bugs in deoptimization 
can be very subtle but we would see some bugs if this was wrong, I think.
Is this a recent failure and there was a change in some other area that 
made this crash?
I don't know why interpreter_frame_stack_size wouldn't be the same as 
oopmap.expression_stack_size() unless it doesn't include the pushed 
arguments?

There's some odd code I've never understood for deoptimization in 
interpreter/interpreter.cpp.   I think you should have someone from the 
compiler group (added) who understands deoptimization review your change.
