You are correct. I'll file an issue to fix it.

Thanks,

    Hi,
    
      We found one inconsistency of backport of 8219677.
      The upstream patch set parameter use_vfork_if_available to true when call os::fork_and_exec in VM_ReportJavaOutOfMemory::doit().
      But looks like the 8u backport did something inconsistent: the change was not made in the correct place.
      The 8u backport patch: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8u/jdk8u/hotspot/rev/97d605522fcb
