The problem is caused by acquiring locks inside MemTracker::shutdown(), 
which could be held by threads that have been already killed.

Given the MemTracker::shutdown() call is on JVM exiting path, the call 
is not necessary, should be removed.

Test:
    Tested on Windows x64 with following tests:
      nsk/jvmti/scenarios/allocation
      runtime/ParallelClassLoading


Thanks,
