It seems to me that the synchronization is only needed to make sure that 
we get a correct count for the _list array. New Klass*'s are pushed on 
the top of the _klasses list so that should not interfere with walking 
the Klass links.

One approach would be to do only one walk over the ClassLoaderDataGraph 
and use a growing datastructure instead of allocating one big linear 
array. I don't see any obvious requirement for a random-access 
datastructure so you could probably just put a Stack<Handle> there and 
push the mirrors on the stack, get the stack size and put them on 
result_list in the correct order.

You can also make JvmtiGetLoadedClassesClosure a KlassClosure and get 
rid of the thread-local get_this/set_this since ClassLoaderDataGraph 
provides an interface for a KlassClosure as well as a callback function 
pointer.
