This change includes two new regression test that demonstrate the problem, and a fix that allows the tests
to pass.

The problem happens when the JIT compiler's escape analysis eliminates the allocation of the AccessControlContext object passed to doPrivileged.  The compiler thinks this is safe because it does not see that the object "escapes".  However, getContext needs to be able to find the object using a stack walk, so we need a way to tell the compiler that it does indeed escape.  To do this we pass the value to a native method that does nothing.

Microbenchmark results:

jdk12-b18:

Benchmark                Mode  Cnt    Score   Error  Units
DoPrivileged.test        avgt   25  255.626 ± 6.446  ns/op
DoPrivileged.testInline  avgt   25  250.968 ± 4.975  ns/op


jdk12-b19:

Benchmark                Mode  Cnt  Score    Error  Units
DoPrivileged.test        avgt   25  5.689 ±  0.001  ns/op
DoPrivileged.testInline  avgt   25  2.765 ±  0.001  ns/op

this fix:

DoPrivileged.test        avgt   25  5.020 ±  0.001  ns/op
DoPrivileged.testInline  avgt   25  2.774 ±  0.025  ns/op
