RFR: 8367475: Incorrect lock usage in LambdaFormInvokers::regenerate_holder_classes

The assert happens because we attempt to allocate Java objects while holding a mutex:


    MutexLocker ml(Thread::current(), LambdaFormInvokers_lock);
    list_lines = oopFactory::new_objArray_handle(vmClasses::String_klass(), len, CHECK);
    for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
      Handle h_line = java_lang_String::create_from_str(_lambdaform_lines->at(i), CHECK);


It's possible for the allocations to trigger a call to Java when JVMTI is enabled.

The fix is to do the allocation outside of the mutex. However, we still use the mutex to make sure we have a consistent view of `_lambdaform_lines`, which may be modified by concurrent Java threads.
