Please review a change to the JDK code for adding classLoader field to
the instances of java/lang/Class. This change restricts reflection
from changing access to the classLoader field. In the spec,
AccessibleObject.setAccessible() may throw SecurityException if the
accessibility of an object may not be changed:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/reflect/AccessibleObject.html#setAccessible(boolean)
Only AccessibleObject.java has changes from the previous version of
this change.

Having setAccessible throw SecurityException when there isn't a security
manager set is a bit odd but as you point out, setAccessible is
specified to allow that. The changes looks okay, although I don't think
strictly necessary.
