RFR: 8313816: Accessing jmethodID might lead to spurious crashes [v3]

[Jaroslav Bachorik]

> Please, review this fix for a corner case handling of `jmethodID` values.
> 
> The issue is related to the interplay between `jmethodID` values and method redefinitions. Each `jmethodID` value is effectively a pointer to a `Method` instance. Once that method gets redefined, the `jmethodID` is updated to point to the last `Method` version. 
> Unless the method is still on stack/running, in which case the original `jmethodID` will be redirected to the latest `Method` version and at the same time the 'previous' `Method` version will receive a new `jmethodID` pointing to that previous version.
> 
> If we happen to capture stacktrace via `GetStackTrace` or `GetAllStackTraces` JVMTI calls while this previous `Method` version is still on stack we will have the corresponding frame identified by a `jmethodID` pointing to that version.
> However, sooner or later the 'previous' class version becomes eligible for cleanup at what time all contained `Method` instances. The cleanup process will not perform the `jmethodID` pointer maintenance and we will end up with pointers to deallocated memory. 
> This is caused by the fact that the `jmethodID` lifecycle is bound to `ClassLoaderData` instance and all relevant `jmethodID`s will get batch-updated when the class loader is being released and all its classes are getting unloaded. 
> 
> This means that we need to make sure that if a `Method` instance is being deallocate the associated `jmethodID` (if any) must not point to the deallocated instance once we are finished. Unfortunately, we can not just update the `jmethodID` values in bulk when purging an old class version - the per `InstanceKlass` jmethodID cache is present only for the main class version and contains `jmethodID` values for both the old and current method versions. 
> 
> Therefore we need to perform `jmethodID` lookup when we are about to deallocate a `Method` instance and clean up the pointer only if that `jmethodID` is pointing to the `Method` instance which is being deallocated.
