This looks good, thanks.
I'll put this here for posterity: we discussed changing `ResourceHashtable` to always call the destructor of the key and value (sketch [here](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/compare/master...JornVernee:jdk:Always_Dtor)). That would allow using `K` and `V` with non-trivial destructors as well. But, this discussion didn't reach a conclusion yet (in particular, there were some doubts expressed over whether a container should be calling destructors at all).
In the mean time, this patch improves upon the status quo.
