RFR: 8323086: Shenandoah: Heap could be corrupted by oom during evacuation

When the load reference barrier is unable to evacuate an object, it initiates a degenerated cycle, and allows the from-space reference past the barrier. The degenerated cycle is meant to patch up these references, but if the reference is written above the update-watermark, it will be missed.
