JDK-8365256 - RelocIterator should use indexes instead of pointers
Description
When a null pointer is accessed in SA it's serialized into the null Java object, this in turn causes runtime NPE:s when attempts are made to perform arithmetic on them.

The "real fix" requires a lot of work on the SA side, and we cannot prioritize that. Instead, I'm backing out my changes.
