Please review this change to work around a false positive -Wdangling-pointer
warning from gcc13.1. The approach being taken is to suppress the warning,
with a comment describing why it's a false positive. Also a little code
restructuring to make it more obvious.
I tried various code modifications to avoid the warning, but they were either
obscure, large and instrusive, or didn't seem reliably future-proof against
further changes in gcc's analysis. And that's just for the attempts that
worked.
Testing:
mach5 tier1-3 with gcc11.2 (current default in Oracle's CI)
Local (linux-x64) tier1 with gcc13.1, and verified the relevant warnings are
not reported. This required disabling compiler warnings as errors, as there
are other new warnings from gcc13.1: JDK-8307210 and JDK-8307196.
