JDK-7141259 - Native stack is missing in hs_err
Description
When JDK-7186778 refactored MachODecoder, the AbstractDecoder::_decoder_status field was left uninitialized for MachODecoder instances.

On macosx-aarch64, this causes name demangling to occasionally fail (e.g. in hs-err stack traces). I assume the same thing happens on macosx-amd64 as well.
Comments
I think the attached JDK-8297657.patch would fix this.
