The current post_class_unload() function can crash the
VM when a non JavaThread initiates a class unload event.
It is also possible that the non JavaThread can be
corrupted instead of crashing the VM.

Until JDK-8173658 can be fixed for non JavaThread
initiators of a class unload event, the function should
disabled.
