[8u40] request for approval to backport JDK-8054210: NullPointerException when compiling specific code.

[Jan Lahoda]

Hello,

I'd like to ask for an approval to backport fix for:

Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8054210
jdk9 fix: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/jdk9/langtools/rev/afb14d7db974

The fix applies cleanly to: 
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8u/jdk8u-dev/langtools.

Thanks,
    Jan
