JVM routinely installs loader constraints for unloaded signature classes when method resolution takes place. MethodHandle resolution took a different route and eagerly resolves signature classes instead (see `java.lang.invoke.MemberName$Factory::resolve` and `sun.invoke.util.VerifyAccess::isTypeVisible` for details).
There's a micro-optimization which bypasses eager resolution for `java.*` classes. The downside is that `java.*` signature classes can show up as unloaded. It manifests as inlining failures during JIT-compilation and may cause severe performance issues.
Proposed fix removes the aforementioned special case logic during `MethodHandle` resolution.
In some cases it may slow down `MethodHandle` construction a bit (e.g., when repeatedly constructing `DirectMethodHandle`s with lots of arguments), but `MethodHandle` construction step is not performance critical.
