RFR: 8230043: Lazily load libverify

[Harold Seigel]

Hi Claes,

thanks for doing this.  I have a couple of questions.

1. Is line 87 in verifier.cpp trying to load libverify, if so, why?

    87   if (!os::dll_locate_lib(buffer, sizeof(buffer),
    Arguments::get_dll_dir(), "verify"))

2. Did the change intend to remove the SerializePage_lock from 
mutexLocker.cpp ?

3. Did the change intend to remove mutex ParkerFreeList_lock from 
mutexLocker.hpp ?

Thanks, Harold
