See bug for description of the bug.
Before [JDK-8346567](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8346567), we pulled class modifiers from the native `Klass*`, and so we bypassed this trouble. But now we take modifiers out of Java mirror, and this happens during unloading, which accesses/resurrects potentially dead mirror.
I think the solution is to keep storing a cached modifiers field in `Klass` instead of relying on Java mirror being accessible. Unfortunately, this patch undoes the removal of `u2` field from `Klass` done in [JDK-8346567](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8346567).
Additional testing:
- [x] Linux x86_64 server fastdebug, original reproducer now passes
- [x] Linux x86_64 server fastdebug, `hotspot_gc_shenandoah`
- [x] Linux x86_64 server fastdebug, `jdk_jfr`
- [x] Linux x86_64 server fastdebug, `jdk_jfr` with `-XX:+UseShenandoahGC` now passes
