RFR: 8134626 - Misc cleanups after generation array removal

[Jesper Wilhelmsson]

Thanks David!

There doesn't seem to be a lot of backporting going on lately. I don't mind 
backporting this change if we want to ease future backporting. FYI, previous 
changes like this (e.g. JDK-8025856) was not backported due to low interest from 
other developers.

I'll forward the RFR to the runtime list as well.

Thanks,
/Jesper
