> FollowReferences with null initial_object starts heap walking from "heap roots", which include system classes.
> All oops from ClassLoaderDataGraph are reported with JVMTI_HEAP_REFERENCE_SYSTEM_CLASS kind, but some of the objects are not classes.
> The fix updates FollowReferences to report non-class objects from ClassLoaderDataGraph as JVMTI_HEAP_REFERENCE_OTHER
> 
> Testing: tier1..4,hs-tier5-svc
