> [JDK-8307106](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8307106) introduced the ability to walk the created CLDs list in the CLDG without a lock. This was primarily introduced to allow lockless concurrent CLD roots scanning for young collections in generational ZGC. However because the CLD _next node pointer is shared between the two list this can lead to a concurrent iteration of the created CLDs missing list entries. 
> 
> This change introduces a second _unloading_next node pointer which is used for the unloading CLDs list. The set_next is now maintains the invariant that it only ever unlinks is_unloading() CLDs and maintains a consistent view of the tail list for anyone reading the list concurrently.  
> 
> Testing: tier1-3 and tier1-7 with Generational ZGC
