Description
make_not_entrant_or_zombie() is apparently being invoked on a zombie method. Presumably because of a race.

Evaluation: In 'NMethodSweeper::process_nmethod' a non-entrant nmethod is processed and can be converted to zombie (line 549 of sweeper.cpp). To clean the IC stubs of that nmethod (see JDK-8058737) we acquire the CompiledIC_lock and check for a safepoint. In this case, there is a safepoint request and we block. During the safepoint a VM_Deoptimize operation is executed (due to classloading) and the non-entrant nmethod is set to zombie by 'CodeCache::make_marked_nmethods_zombies'. After the safepoint the sweeper continues and tries to set the nmethod to zombie again.
