8138922: StubCodeDesc constructor publishes partially-constructed objects on StubCodeDesc::_list

[Vladimir Kozlov]

There was also following fix in JDK 9 (and no backport to 8u) which 
removed desc_for_index():

http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/jdk/rev/cb578d8c6cba

I agree that both fixes should be backported. Or at least 8138922.

I also did not find any traces of backport requests and no labels were 
added.

Regards,
Vladimir
