Can I please get a review of this change which proposes to fix the issue noted in https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8282617? 

The `HttpClient` class uses a `inCache` (internal) field to keep track of whether a connection is in the keep-alive cache. This is a mutable field and when dealing with this field the `HttpClient` class uses a lock.

The `HttpsClient` class extends this `HttpClient` class. It additionally overrides the `putInKeepAliveCache()` method to use a Https specific way of populating the keep alive cache. While doing so it also reads and updates the `inCache` `protected` field from its super `HttpClient` class, but doesn't use a lock to do so. This can thus cause a race condition when the `inCache` field gets accessed concurrently, for example a separate thread calling the `HttpClient#isInKeepAliveCache()` method.

To fix this issue, the commit here uses the same lock/unlock construct used in the `HttpClient` super class.
