The issue is that the [fallback (non-critical)](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/master/test/hotspot/jtreg/gc/libCriticalNative.c#L124) native version of the code calls `GetArrayLength` on [known `NULL` array](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/master/test/hotspot/jtreg/gc/CriticalNativeArgs.java#L71).

Before that, the test was only enabled for specific GCs and arches where `CriticalJNINatives` are known to work, and thus we never took that (broken) fallback in this test.

I also reformatted the run configs a bit to make them more readable, and added `-XX:-CriticalJNINatives` to expose the affected path in most configurations.
