[9] RFR for JDK-8155004: CrashOnOutOfMemoryError doesn't work for OOM caused by inability to create threads'

[Christian Tornqvist]

Hi Shafi,

Note that this bug is targeted for JDK 10, you need to wait with pushing
this until the repository for that release is open.

Thanks,
Christian

Hi All,

Please review the simple change for the fix of bug '' JDK-8155004:
CrashOnOutOfMemoryError doesn't work for OOM caused by inability to create
threads'.

Summary: 
In the current implementation there are few scenarios where we are not
obeying the jvm option -XX:+CrashOnOutOfMemoryError.
While I was analysis this issue I found there are two jvm state where OOM
can happen:
 1.  OOM during VM initialization - as per our internal discussion for this
case it is not worth for dumping core file, so this is left as it is.
 2.  OOM once VM is initialized - For this scenario most of the place code
is already added but few place corresponding code changes are missing so
this change covers it.
