RFC [11u]: backport of JDK-8215756: Memory leaks in the AWT on macOS

[Simon Tooke]

Hello all,

I would like to backport the following bug into jdk11u-dev:

The patch is trivial, and applies as-is.  I have supplied a patch, but the original patch works as-is.

bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8215756

jdk11u patch:  http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~stooke/webrevs/jdk8215756-jdk11
<http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~stooke/webrevs/jdk8215756-jdk8u/>

Original patch: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/client/rev/64e7a73195c1

Thanks for your time,

-Simon
