Please review this limited fix to make symbol refcount not go to zero for the placeholder supername field. This supername field is to detect ClassCircularityError for parallel capable class loaders without deadlocking.
ie. t1 : Class A (lock object for A) -> super B (wait for lock object for B)
t2: Class B (lock object for B) -> super A (wait for lock object for A).

We get the supername field out of the placeholder table to do the check for super class CCE but the reference count in the placeholder table for this name can be one. The fix is not to decrement and increment if the name is the same.

Retesting with tier1-4 in progress.
