[jdk11u-dev] RFR: 8268523: SIGSEGV in PackageEntry::purge_qualified_exports()

[Zhengyu Gu]

I would like to fix the crash in openjdk 11u.

The crash is caused by racy installing new CLD in ClassLoaderDataGraph::add_to_graph().

The method first creates new ClassLoaderData, and in its constructor, it creates unnamed module entry and installs it in java_lang_Module oop.

Then add_to_graph() tries to install newly created CLD to java_lang_ClassLoader oop via CAS. If it loses race, then it deletes new CLD and returns existing one.

But at this point, java_lang_Module oop could still point module entry that is already freed.

The fix I am purposing is to borrow ClassLoaderDataGraph_lock from JDK-8210155, but only uses it to prevent racing installing CLD and new CLD is still published via CAS to avoid needing additional patches.
