RFR JDK-7092821 "java.security.Provider.getService() is synchronized and became scalability bottleneck"

[Valerie Peng]

If I recall correctly, "initialized" and checkInitialized() method are 
meant to prevent unauthorized creation of Provider object either through 
inheritance or deserialization. Thus, they should not be removed unless 
we are sure that the original issue are no longer of concern.

Thanks,
Valerie
