8277444: Data race between JvmtiClassFileReconstituter::copy_bytecodes and class linking

Backport of https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8277444. The backport was not clean but the fixes were trivial naming differences

This fixes a race condition that occurs when a class is simultaneously retransformed via the Instrumentation API and linked. This can lead to invalid bytecode which will cause a VerifyError. Even worse, if class verifying is turned off, which it is by default for java.* classes, this will cause the JVM to crash/segfault.

The included test test/jdk/java/lang/instrument/RetransformBigClassTest.java fails before the patch and passes after
