C2AccessValuePtr contains a reinterpret cast from TypePtr* to its base class Type*. This cast was added in [JDK-8202377](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8202377), due to a circular dependency problem, which no longer exists. The code compiles fine without it and this cast was removed.
Furthermore, a downcast from Type* to TypePtr* exists in this class using reinterpret_cast. This is replaced with the less powerful and more safe static_cast.
