[aarch64-port-dev ] hg: aarch64-port/jdk8u/hotspot: 8157306: Random infrequent null pointer exceptions in javac

[Vladimir Kozlov]

Hi guy,

Added anti_dependences verification after GCM hits this problem on all platforms.
I am planning to back port to 8u both fixes 8157306 and 8162496 after 8162496 fix is tested enough in jdk 9.

Regards,
Vladimir
