> The three AtomicXxxFieldUpdater classes (AtomicIntegerFieldUpdater, AtomicLongFieldUpdater, and AtomicReferenceFieldUpdater) contain duplicate field validation and access checking logic in their constructors and helper methods.
>
> This change extracts the common validation and utility methods into a new package-private class FieldUpdaterUtil to eliminate code duplication and improve maintainability.
>
> Changes:
> - Added new FieldUpdaterUtil class with static utility methods:
> * validateField() - validates field type, volatile, and static checks
> * computeAccessClass() - determines correct class for access checks
> * isSamePackage() - checks if two classes are in same package
> * isAncestor() - checks classloader delegation chain
>
> - Updated AtomicIntegerFieldUpdater to use FieldUpdaterUtil
> * Simplified constructor to use validateField() and computeAccessClass()
> * Removed duplicate isAncestor() and isSamePackage() methods
>
> - Updated AtomicLongFieldUpdater to use FieldUpdaterUtil
> * Simplified constructor to use validateField() and computeAccessClass()
> * Removed duplicate isAncestor() and isSamePackage() methods
>
> - Updated AtomicReferenceFieldUpdater to use FieldUpdaterUtil
> * Simplified constructor to use validateField() and computeAccessClass()
> * Removed duplicate isAncestor() and isSamePackage() methods
>
> Existing tests in test/jdk/java/util/concurrent/tck and test/jdk/java/util/concurrent/atomic verify that the refactoring preserves the original behavior.

Refactor FieldUpdaterUtil API based on review feedback
Simplified the API by combining field lookup and validation into a
single findValidatedField() method, eliminating the need for the
redundant FieldAndModifiers record since Field already provides
getModifiers(). This makes the API more ergonomic and the caller
code more concise.
