Summary: Metaspace::contains cannot look at purged metaspaces while CMS
concurrently deallocates them.
Removed 2 calls to is_metaspace_object where the object may be in a
deallocated metaspace. Removed walking virtual space lists for
determining contains because the virtual space list can change
concurrently with the walk. CLDG::contains is slower but no slowdowns
with testing were observed.
Tested by SQE testbase tests, jtreg tests. Functional testing by
parallel class loading tests and nsk/coverage/arguments/arguments008
(ie. calls Method::is_valid_method)
