RFR: 8369622: GlobalChunkPoolMutex needs to be recursive [v2]

> The GlobalChunkPoolMutex replaced ThreadCritical in [JDK-8356173](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8356173). In NMT, we can unfortunately reach a recursive locking situation in situations when the VM is crashing and NMT attempts to perform a error report. I suggest that we make this particular mutex recursive, until we can resolve the design issues that causes this.
> 
> This PR also replaces the static initialization with `DeferredStatic`, and fixes the indentation of access modifiers to be consistently 0-indented.
> 
> Please note that we do not take the lock in NMT in order to allocate memory, but in order to have a "static picture" of the arena counters.
