Hi everybody,
Could you review this fix?
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8131645
Webrev:

The problem was that without a store membar on the CodeRootSetTable
creation, readers could see invalid memory leading to an assert or
crash. This is more noticeable on ARM64 with relaxed memory semantics.
Thanks Stefan K for noticing the exact spot for this fix.
This ran all night with the failing test with no crashes and passes JPRT.
Thanks,
Eric
