JVMTI will read a NULL method for checked_resolved_jmethod_id() in this case, and not get a Method that will shortly, or has already been reclaimed in the Metaspace destructor.

Either way method->method_holder()->is_loader_alive() will crash if !is_valid_method so we should leave it.   As I wrote in the related issues, the bogus Method may have been because of a previous set of bugs with post_compiled_method_load events.

Just comments for now. I need to think about this more.

I need to think more about deleting the is_method() check.

nit typo: s/jmethodid/jmethodID/
