In [JDK-8290833](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8290833) (#9759), I added a table (`SystemDictionaryShared::_saved_cpcache_entries_table`) that remembers the initial state of a `ConstantPoolCache` during CDS dumping. This table is indexed with a `ConstantPoolCache*`
However, `ConstantPoolCache` has a complex lifecycle, especially with class redefinition. This makes it difficult to clean up the table. The crash reported in [the current bug](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8292318) happened during clean up, probably because an `InstanceKlass` was still valid but its `ConstantPool` or `ConstantPoolCache` were not.
For simplification, I am now storing the information inside the `ConstantPoolCache`. To compensate for the extra space used, I moved two 32-bit integers next to each other, so the net change in size is zero.
instanceKlass.cpp was reverted to the state before #9759.
