JDK-8160357: assert(_in == (Node**)this) failed: Must not pass arg count to 'new'

[Yasumasa Suenaga]

Hi all,

This review request relates to JDK-8160310: HotSpot cannot be built with GCC 6 .

I encountered VM crash when I compiled OpenJDK 9 with GCC 6
on Fedora 24 x64.

jmod tool was crashed by assertion.
This binary is fastdebug which is built by GCC 6.

I guess this assertion can be removed as below because _in is set to NULL and
does not seems to be initialized.

However, I'm not sure whether this fix is correct.
Please discuss about it.


Thanks,

Yasumasa
