The assert found that CDS was restoring classes with methods in the default_methods array which can be from a redefined class.  So these methods need to be adjusted before recreating the vtable.

The window for this bug is very small so I couldn't write a test for it. This change was in my v1 patch for JDK-8256365, so reintroduced here.

Which code above can go to a safepoint? So perhaps reword the comment:

// Refetch this default method in case of redefinition in a safepoint that
// might happen in XXX above.
