Backport of fix for CDS and JVM-TI agent crash ?

[Lindenmaier, Goetz]

Hi, 

The fact a downport bug was opened does not matter, 
you could still flag jdk11u-fix-request and just push it 
if approved.  This bug will then be closed as it is flagged 11-pool.

More gentle it would be to ask Ioi what's going on ...

Best regards,
  Goetz.
