RFR (S) 8073705: more performance issues in class redefinition

[serguei.spitsyn at oracle.com]

Hi Coleen and Dan,

This is the second class redefinition scalability/optimization fix that 
is in my queue to push into 9 and 8u60.

The approach is similar to the first one but much smaller.
For convenience, these are the links to the first scalability fix:
      Bug report: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8073705
      Open webrev: 
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sspitsyn/webrevs/2015/hotspot/8046246-JVMTI-redefscale.2/

Please, let me know if you have any chance to review this.
This is the last one that is waiting for your attention! :)

Thanks,
Serguei
