Summary: JCK8 test vm/constantpool/accessControl/accessControl004/accessControl00402m3/accessControl00402m3.html fails with -Xbatch -Xcomp due to bad field access check in C1 and C2. Fix: In ciField::ciField(), just before the canonical holder is stored into the _holder variable (and which is used by ciField::will_link()) perform an additional access check with the holder declared in the class file. If this check fails, store the declared holder instead and ciField::will_link() will bail out compilation for this field later on. Then, the interpreter will throw an PrivilegedAccessException at runtime.
