      With the permanent generation allocations from the perm gen were guarded with
      the Heap_lock. Allocations in Metaspaces (replacement for perm gen) are protected by
      per Metaspace locks. Removing the use of the Heap_lock here previously caused
      problems. Check if there is still a need for the Heap_lock and, if so, why is it
      needed.
