RFR(S) 8030221: Checking for anonymous class should check for NULL as well as potential nesting

[Coleen Phillimore]

Can host class actually be an array class?

It seems like more error if the host class is a primitive, array, or if 
it is another anonymous class.

Then you can pass it as InstanceKlass as host_class everwhere and not 
have these casts.
