From the initializations, it looks to me that `CompilerTask::hot_method()` is either `method()` or `nullptr`. In both cases, we do nothing special. So tracking `hot_method` is redundant, and can be purged. This improves performance a little, since it avoids extra handle-izing across compiler code, and of course it simplifies coding as well.

Thanks! Testing is green here. I'll wait a bit more if anyone else wants to review, and then I'll integrate to continue with [JDK-8231269](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8231269).
