This patch adds a missing load barrier to the JVMTI heap walker. In
VM_HeapWalkOperation::collect_simple_roots() the SimpleRootsClosure
closure should not do raw loads of oops. Instead it should be loading
them using NativeAccess<AS_NO_KEEPALIVE>::oop_load().
This problem only affects ZGC, since it's (so far) the only collector
that scans JNIHandles concurrently.
The problem was easily reproducible when running
vmTestbase/nsk/jdi/ReferenceType/instances/instances004/TestDescription.java.
However, for some reason this isn't reproducing in our CI pipeline,
likely because of luck with timing. For example, this is harder to
reproduce in a scenario where your using a smaller heap and hence have
GC cycles happen more frequently.
