Instead of lazily, when there's a rare request for a jmethodID for an obsolete method, the jmethodID cache is grown during the RedefineClasses safepoint.  The InstanceKlass's jmethodID cache is lazily allocated when there's a jmethodID allocated, so not every InstanceKlass has a cache, but the growth now only happens in a safepoint.  This code will become racy with the potential change for deallocating jmethodIDs.
