Various Crashes in JvmtiExport::post_compiled_method_load were found in
our production environment after users started to receive the JVMTI
COMPILED_METHOD_LOAD event.
ServiceThread::nmethods_do should have been called to keep nmethods from
being zombied while in the JvmtiDeferredEventQueue, but
JavaThead::nmethods_do is called at present.
Make a virtual function call to the correct method to fix this issue.
With the fix, various crashes were gone.
This issue only exists in 8u.
