RFR JDK-8028275: Metaspace ShrinkGrowTest causes fatal error if run with JFR

[Coleen Phillimore]

Zhengyu,

There are other calls to initialize_class in Threads::create_vm() that 
can create a pending exception and return with CHECK_0 after the 
EXCEPTION MARK.

It seems to me that the EXCEPTION_MARK should be removed and the caller 
of this function checks for the pending exception.   Better yet would be 
to encapsulate the calls to initialize_class into a function(s) and 
check the return for pending exception and exit the jvm with 
jvm_exit_during_initialization().
