I propose to remove 'null' assignment of field CompactByteArray.values in `expand` method. In the next statement this field is overridden with another value - `tempArray`. This code was there from initial load of OpenJDK sources. I believe it was just leftovers from development phase of this class. There is no practical reason to assign `null` to non-volatile field and then overwrite it with another value. Also I've removed unused method `getArray`. I hope it's ok to cleanup such unused stuff in the same PR.
