Request for Approval to backport fix for JDK-8144185

[Srikanth]

Hello,

We have a request from ASM maintainers and also from the sustenance team 
to have the fix made for JDK-8144185 to 8u stream.

Please approve the backport *and* also help push the fix (as I am not a 
8u committer).

JDK10 defect: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8144185
JDK8 backport ticket: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8191969

The same fix for JDK10 was applied to 8u with no additional changes. All 
relevant tests have been run and are all green.

TIA,
