RFR (XXS): 8051378: AIX: Change "8030763: Validate global memory allocation" breaks the HotSpot build

[Vladimir Kozlov]

Looks good.

Alejandro suggested that I should push it into jdk8u/jdk8u-dev/hotspot 
where 8u11 was merged.

When the fix will be approved it will be pushed into 8u20 repo.

Thanks,
Vladimir
