When multiple threads are generating the same DynamicScope class, both
threads may try to generate the same class at the same time. When the second
thread hits defineClass, it throws a LinkageError because the class has already
been defined.

With this change we catch this exception and call loadClass to get the class that
the previous thread created.

Maybe we should just lock around the class generation bit?

I will incorporate your patch but with some double-checked locking around class generation, so we can simply avoid the exception when there's parallel generation going on.

This is an enhancement to #4285 to avoid the exception altogether.

Any remaining exceptions that bubble out are intended to do so, so
we can see them and get reports and fix them. This modification
should effectively prevent double-loading (which caused the
LinkageError) but have reduced overhead.
