This small patch refactors `TypeAryPtr::flat_layout_helper` and similar methods to use `exact_klass()` instead of `klass()`, and add an additional condition for when we can compute `_field_offset` during `TypeAryPtr::add_field_offset_and_offset`. We can then remove the extra condition in `TypeAryPtr::compute_klass`.
