Hi all,
CompressedKlassPointers::sanity_check_after_initialization() src/hotspot/share/oops/compressedKlass.cpp:104:38 reported runtime error: applying non-zero offset 4294967296 to null pointer by clang17 UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer.

The _base initial as nullptr in function CompressedKlassPointers::initialize(address addr, size_t len) shows as below. In C/C++, offsetting a null pointer is undefined behavior. This PR do not change the original logic but eliminate the undefined behaviour in code, the risk is low.

```c++
    address const end = addr + len;
    if (end <= (address)unscaled_max) {
      _base = nullptr;
      _shift = 0;
