[Ask for sponsoring] Fix another NPE in jdk.compiler/com.sun.tools.javac.jvm.Code.emitop0(Code.java:571)

[Jonathan Gibbons]

Bernard, Jia,

You need an expert in this part of the code to do the review, and the likely
experts are on vacation through the end of the year and may not be able
to respond before the first week of next year.

As a matter of policy, if folk (you+reviewers) think this should go in 16,
you need to file the PR against the jdk16 repo. From there, it will 
eventually
and automatically be forward-ported to the main jdk rep.

Note there will only be a limited window in the new year to fix bugs in 16.
See the schedule for JDK 16 here:
