8024974: Incorrect use of GC_locker::is_active()
Summary: SymbolTable and StringTable can make calls to GC_locker::is_active() outside a safepoint. This isn't safe because the GC_locker active state (lock count) is only updated at a safepoint and only remains valid as long as _needs_gc is true. However, outside a safepoint_needs_gc can change to false at any time, which makes it impossible to do a correct call to is_active() in that context. In this case these calls can just be removed since the input argument to basic_add() should never be on the heap and so there's no need to check the GC_locker state. This change also adjusts the assert() in is_active() to makes sure all calls to this function are always done under a safepoint.
