>> [JDK-8316694](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8316694) introduced an `immutable_data_references_counter` which keeps track of the number of nmethods using the immutable data so it can be shared between relocated nmethods. The old code reads the counter, decrements the counter, and then checks the first read to see if it is zero. Since the check is performed on the initial read it will never be zero which causes immutable data to never be freed.
