RFR: 8248362: JVMTI frame operations should use Thread-Local Handshake

[Yasumasa Suenaga]

Hi Dan,

Thanks for your comment!
I uploaded new webrev:

   http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ysuenaga/JDK-8248362/webrev.01/
   Diff from previous webrev: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/submit/rev/df75038b5449

Fixed.

I want to fix it in another RFE as you said if it is needed.
If we don't hear the reason from Serguei, I want to keep this change.

I think it is new normal as David said in the reply, and also other closures don't say about it.
So I did not change about it in new webrev.

Fixed.

Thanks, but I uploaded new webrev just in case :)
