Hello!
null-aware comparison of Objects is widely used, so it's tempting to use
Objects.equals for that.
Unfortunately, there are concerns w.r.t performance (see JDK-8015417),
so it seems to better avoid this kind of refactoring in the performance
critical code.
Please find the webrev with a few places cleaned up (I had more, but
decided to limit this patch due to the concern mentioned above).

WEBREV: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~igerasim/8226831/00/webrev/
Thanks in advance!
