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.

Summary: The test incorrectly assumed that it had been started with no other previous compilation activity. Fix this by allowing multiple code root free chunk lists, and use one separate from the global one to perform the test.
