[8u] Approval request to backport the fix made for JDK-8129740

[Seán Coffey]

JDK-8157142 is not a backport record of JDK-8129740. I suggest you close 
8157142 as duplicate of 8129740. HGupdater will create a jdk8u backport 
record for you if you push your changeset with bug ID of 8129740.

Does this bring behavioural changes of interest to JDK 8u for end users 
? Anything needed in release note documentation ?

Regards,
Sean.
