The original patch does not apply cleanly to 11u; it references a creatingCompiler boolean was introduced in JDK-8220623 for JDK 13. I removed lines related to this flag.

@tabjy This is a JVMCI change and has the jdk11u-jvmci-defer label. The primary user of JVMCI is GraalVM and as far as I know we don't have any more consumers of that for JDK 11. It seems not worth the risk to include it in that stage of the JDK 11 lifecycle.

@jerboaa Understood. Thanks for your clarification. Sorry that I wasn't aware of this!
