RFR: 8356783: CompilerTask hot_method is redundant

This gave me some grief when implementing [JDK-8231269](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8231269). 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.

Additional testing:
 - [x] Linux x86_64 server fastdebug, `compiler/`
 - [ ]  Linux x86_64 server fastdebug, `all`
