Hi all,

    This pull request contains a backport of commit [7ff4ea8d](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/commit/7ff4ea8d01c681b90ad59be04007557d84c8db94) from the [openjdk/jdk](https://git.openjdk.org/jdk) repository.

    The commit being backported was authored by Jan Lahoda on 17 Oct 2024 and was reviewed by Adam Sotona.

    Thanks!

The original description:

Consider a `module-info.class`, that both:
 - is wrong, so it will produce a bad-classfile error, for example due to an illegal `requires transitive java.base;`
 - and the module is annotated

If the javac proceeds to resolve the annotations (which is not the default, but can be pushed to do it), it will crash with an `AssertionError` while trying to un-proxy the annotations. This is because there's an assert that `requestingOwner.owner.kind == MDL`, but since the module is erroneous, the kind is `ERR`, and the assert fails.

The proposal is to loosen the assert a bit, and require `requestingOwner.owner instanceof ModuleSymbol`. That should still be sufficiently strong, while permitting broken modules to be handled.
