[8u-dev] request for review and approval to backport JDK-8130304: Inference: NodeNotFoundException thrown with deep generic method call chain

[Vicente-Arturo Romero-Zaldivar]

Approved,

Comment, the patch for 8 has an extra test that is not present in the 
patch for 9. Is it worthy / applicable to provide the test for 9 in a 
separate patch?

Thanks,
Vicente
