SafeFetch depended on the existence of a thread object only because of the WXMode. This pull request therefore removes the dependency, making SafeFetch usable in more contexts.

I'm currently implementing Andrews proposal for a static safefetch (https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/7865, still in draft, but almost done). That will be more generic solution since we don't have to deal with thread wx state at all. That's why we closed this PR.
