[8u] RFR 8065895: Synchronous signals during error reporting may terminate or hang VM process

[Thomas Stüfe]

Looks good to me, but I am not a Reviewer for jdk8u.

Note that there was a mixup with the original patch and the regression
tests got lost and pushed later with a separate RFE (JDK-8072575).

Cheers, Thomas
