http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~iklam/jdk15/8240613-set-init-state-graal.v01/
In JDK-8240244 (Avoid calling resolve_super_or_fail in 
SystemDictionary::load_shared_class) I added code to check if a super 
type of a CDS shared class is already loaded. Apparently this check, 
which takes the SystemDictionary_lock, causes a race condition during 
class loading, and leads to the assert.
So far the assert has happened only when graal is used as the JIT, but I 
think that's just because when graal starts up, it initializes many 
system classes in parallel to the main app, which increases the 
likelihood of the race condition.
I am not backing out JDK-8240244 entirely, because new code has been 
pushed which depends on some of the cleanups done in JDK-8240244. 
Instead, I am removing the most suspicious part of JDK-8240244.
The assert would happen intermittently, but at least once in a couple of 
hs-tier3-graal.js
I am running hs-tier3-graal.js six times and the assert no longer 
happens, so I think the fix is good.
Thanks
