Custom gradient registration is broken in Windows

Since we've upgrade to TF 2.10.1, the JVM crashes on Windows when attempting to register custom gradients. This has been observed when running the unit tests. Right now, custom gradient registration in Windows has been disabled until this issue is fixed. Seems to be related to a wrong pointer returned by TF_OperationName.

Here's some traces:

The generated JNI code:

JNIEXPORT jlong JNICALL Java_org_tensorflow_internal_c_1api_NameMap_erase__Lorg_bytedeco_javacpp_BytePointer_2(JNIEnv* env, jobject obj, jobject arg0) {
    std::unordered_map<tensorflow::string,tensorflow::Node*>* ptr = (std::unordered_map<tensorflow::string,tensorflow::Node*>*)jlong_to_ptr(env->GetLongField(obj, JavaCPP_addressFID));
    if (ptr == NULL) {
        env->ThrowNew(JavaCPP_getClass(env, 7), "This pointer address is NULL.");
        return 0;
    }
    jlong position = env->GetLongField(obj, JavaCPP_positionFID);
    ptr += position;
    signed char* ptr0 = arg0 == NULL ? NULL : (signed char*)jlong_to_ptr(env->GetLongField(arg0, JavaCPP_addressFID));
    jlong size0 = arg0 == NULL ? 0 : env->GetLongField(arg0, JavaCPP_limitFID);
    void* owner0 = JavaCPP_getPointerOwner(env, arg0);
    jlong position0 = arg0 == NULL ? 0 : env->GetLongField(arg0, JavaCPP_positionFID);
    ptr0 += position0;
    size0 -= position0;
    StringAdapter< char > adapter0(ptr0, size0, owner0);
    jlong rarg = 0;
    jlong rval = ptr->erase((std::basic_string< char >&)adapter0);
    rarg = (jlong)rval;
    signed char* rptr0 = adapter0;
    jlong rsize0 = (jlong)adapter0.size;
    void* rowner0 = adapter0.owner;
    if (rptr0 != ptr0) {
        JavaCPP_initPointer(env, arg0, rptr0, rsize0, rowner0, &StringAdapter< char >::deallocate);
    } else {
        env->SetLongField(arg0, JavaCPP_limitFID, rsize0 + position0);
    }
    return rarg;
}

Also, this binding seems to receive a special treatment from our end: https://github.com/tensorflow/java/blob/455fc731ece7aba751e7ec7ee1cd06dff3a1bfe0/tensorflow-core/tensorflow-core-api/src/main/java/org/tensorflow/internal/c_api/presets/tensorflow.java#L391

Start with CustomGradientTest.testCustomGradient and the NameMap.erase entry point shown in the crash, then inspect the special binding treatment in tensorflow-core-api/src/main/java/org/tensorflow/internal/c_api/presets/tensorflow.java around line 391. Reproduce the custom-gradient unit test on Windows and verify that registration completes without a JVM crash.
