We can remember this in `InstanceKlass::_package_entry` during dump time to avoid the hashtable lookup at runtime in `InstanceKlass::set_package()` and `SystemDictionaryShared::get_package_entry_from_class_name()`.

I think the `#if` part is not needed. `MetaspaceShared::use_full_module_graph()` returns false if `INCLUDE_CDS_JAVA_HEAP` is false.

Instead of `ArchiveBuilder::update_package_entry()`, maybe we can set `_package_entry` here?

if (!MetaspaceShared::use_full_module_graph()) {
  _package_entry = NULL;
} else if (DynamicDumpSharedSpaces) {
  if (!Metaspace::is_in_shared_metaspace(_package_entry)) {
    _package_entry = NULL;  
  }
} else {
  _package_entry =  PackageEntry::get_archived_entry(entry);
}
ArchiveUtils::mark_pointer((address**)&_package_entry);

The `mark_pointer` call is necessary if relocation happens during dumping.

For classes loaded by custom loaders, we don't archive their modules so get_archived_entry() should return a NULL package. I think for sanity, we should add an assert like:

if (ik->is_shared_unregistered_class()) {
  assert(_package_entry == NULL, "package entry for unregistered classes are not archived");
}
