[jdk11u-dev] RFR: 8277072: ObjectStreamClass caches keep ClassLoaders alive

[Roman Kennke]

Hi all,

This pull request contains a backport of commit [8eb453ba](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/commit/8eb453baebe377697286f7eb32280ca9f1fd7775) from the [openjdk/jdk](https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk) repository.

The commit being backported was authored by Roman Kennke on 10 Dec 2021 and was reviewed by Roger Riggs and Peter Levart.

It fixes a memory leak in ObjectStreamClass under certain conditions. See bug for details.
The backport was not clean, there have been some rather minor differences in context.

Thanks!
