I've created JDK-8231924 to track this.
Addressing JDK-8231924 will fix it so Field.getGenericType() throws a
TypeNotPresentException, as specified.
I suspect that prior to the Class.forName() linking fix[1], there was no
attempt to link the 'OptionalService' class (referring to Tornai's test
case - it throws no exception with -XX:+ClassForNameDeferLinking).
It could be that the code would also need to be updated to link
successfully, in order to avoid a TypeNotPresentException.
