There is actually a tricky situation -- static archive doesn't have 
`-XX:+AOTClassLinking` but the dynamic archive was created with 
`-XX:+AOTClassLinking`.

I have created [JDK-8367366](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8367366) to 
remove support for  `-XX:+AOTClassLinking` for the dynamic archive. If that 
gets reviewed and integrated, then I will update this PR to remove 
`is_using_preloaded_classes()`
