RFR: 8245167: Top package in method profiling shows "null" in JMC

[Andrey Petushkov]

Hi Andrew,

This 'L' -checking code is activated only when the method in question is
given the array (i.e. the FQN of the class is something "[L...").
However the caller never applies the method to array classes, only
instance classes.
(and I've actually checked that "L.Main" class has appeared in the JMC's
"Top packages" window)
