Please review the following trivial fix in FileMapInfo::verify_mapped_heap_regions:

webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jiangli/8211956/webrev.00/ bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8211956

This issue was reported by Charles Nutter when using AppCDS with Jruby. The failure happens when large number of classes (>7000) and java objects (mirror objects of archived classes) are archived. With 'oa1' (open archive heap space 1) also being used, the runtime crashes during mapping/validating the archive heap regions. FileMapInfo::verify_mapped_heap_regions accesses beyond the end of archived space array and reads in garbage, which causes the crash. The fix is to make sure FileMapInfo::verify_mapped_heap_regions only verifies 'num' of spaces. Thanks Charles for reporting the issue and Claes for forwarding. Also thanks Ioi for jumping in and helping investigation.

I've also created a follow up RFE, JDK-8212149 for creating a stress test for archive heap regions with large number of archived heap objects.

Verified the fix with jruby. Running tier1-tier5.

Thanks,

Jiangli
