[8u-dev] Request for approval to backport: 8022321, 6857566

[Ivan Gerasimov]

Hello!

I'd like to backport these two fixes to jdk8u-dev:
8022321: java/lang/ref/OOMEInReferenceHandler.java fails intermittently
6857566: (bf) DirectByteBuffer garbage creation can outpace reclamation

They should make usage of DirectByteBuffer more robust.
