The reason for the revert is that we observe ABA problem around
inline method cache. When a cache misshits, we search for a
method entry. And if the entry is identical to what was cached
before, we reuse the cache. But the commits we are reverting here
introduced situations where a method entry is freed, then the
identical memory region is used for another method entry. An
inline method cache cannot detect that ABA.

Here is a code that reproduce such situation:

require 'prime'

class << Integer
  alias org_sqrt sqrt
  def sqrt(n)
    raise
  end

  GC.stress = true
  Prime.each(7*37){} rescue nil # <- Here we populate CC
  class << Object.new; end

  # These adjacent remove-then-alias maneuver
  # frees a method entry, then immediately
  # reuses it for another.
  remove_method :sqrt
  alias sqrt org_sqrt
end

Prime.each(7*37).to_a # <- SEGV
