Proposal for back-porting JFR to OpenJDK8u

[Hohensee, Paul]

The backport is on the EnableJFR switch is true, but it's default false in the patch, so JFR is default off.

    I like Paul's suggestion. It's easier to have the core work in there
    and easily available
    for everyone to work on, than to try and create one perfect patch.
    It's also then easier
    to track what follow-on bugs have been fixed in 8u.
    
    Does the initial patch allow this to be disabled? The risk is
    significantly reduced if it
    is still possible to build as now with it applied.
    
    Thanks,
