Description
There are a few places in JDK where two Objects are compared in a null-aware way.
These can benefit from using Objects.equals(Object, Object) static method.
Comments
Some refactoring was excluded from the fix due to possible performance impact (due to JDK-8015417 which is still open at this time). Here's the webrev with the leftover, which can possibly be used at later time: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~igerasim/8226831/01/webrev/
