6893081: method handle & invokedynamic code needs additional cleanup (post 6815692, 6858164)
Summary: During the work for 6829187 we have fixed a number of basic bugs which are logically grouped with 6815692 and 6858164 but which must be reviewed and pushed separately.

duke@435 35 // necessary if stores weren't ordered. Fortunately, they are on all known
