This change fixes the name collision preventing build.

The master jdk11u repository contains the latest version of that release, while the jdk11u-dev repository is used to start work on the next release. If a change needs to be pushed to a release in rampdown, push approval can still be requested using the jdk11u-critical-request label. As the name of this tag suggests, this process is intended for fixes such as major regressions that must make the release. More minor bugs and new features should go in the next release being developed in jdk11u-dev. The maintainers may approve with jdk11u-critical-yes, defer to jdk11u-dev or reject altogether. Outstanding approvals for critical fixes can be monitored here. If, and only if, the fix gets approved with jdk11u-critical-yes, it may be pushed to the jdk11u repository. Approved critical fixes show up in this JBS filter (login required)."

Sounds like this falls under the description of critical request (Thanks for the pointer @phohensee).
