PING^3: RFD: C2 bug: 8157306 random infrequent null pointer exceptions in javac

[Vladimir Kozlov]

I reproduced it running jtreg in hotspot/test:

jtreg -testjdk:$JAVA_HOME -v -vmoptions:'-Xcomp' compiler/calls/fromCompiled/CompiledInvokeDynamic2CompiledTest.java

and other compiler/calls tests.

It crashed not in test execution but during test compilation:

ACTION: compile -- Error. unexpected exit code from javac: 6

That is why you need to use -vmoptions. I did not see other types of the failure in open tests.
