Hello,

We should be explicit when naming variables that refer to "fields" and state whether we mean staitc or nonstatic fields.

I've also done a bit of cleanup in `FieldLayoutBuilder::compute_inline_class_layout()`, which calls `has_nonstatic_fields`. The "has_nonstatic_fields" property is inherited from the superklass whenever a klass instance is created, so we only have to check the property once on the "first" superklass.

Testing:
* Oracle's tier1-3, jdk_valhalla and hotspot_valhalla
* I added an assert to sanity test that the while loop I removed in `FieldLayoutBuilder::compute_inline_class_layout()` never gets past the "first" superklass, which didn't hit in tier1-3.
