Thanks to @stefank and @fisk for the diagnosis.  ZGC is looking at metadata in unloaded nmethods, but redefinition doesn't keep this metadata from being deallocated.  Change the iterators that mark metadata in use to walk unloaded nmethods as well as other alive nmethods.

The test case reproduces the crash on windows if run in an 100 iteration loop.  This fix does not crash in the same test.  Also ran tier1-6.
