    Description

      Cleaning metadata inside metaspaces from the ClassLoaderData::_deallocate list requires a MetadataOnStackMark walk in a safepoint. This is currently done during class unloading. Move this to a safepoint cleanup phase so that class unloading does not require a safepoint (but this still does and always will).
      The metaspace cleaning is for redefinition (scratch classes and old metadata attached to scratch classes), already created metadata for classes that have failed loading, constant pools extended due to default method processing, and methods for jsr rewrites.
