8277932: Subject:callAs() not throwing NPE when action is null

[wangweij]

Add null check. I must have thought the NPE will be thrown anyway but the catch Exception block swallows it.

I added a noreg-trivial label. If you think differently can add one.

Yes, the stack trace will be more useful with the explicit check, otherwise it would be buried inside other calls and it won't be so obvious that the argument passed to callAs is null.

Is there a test for this? (I see noreg-trivial is added but a test should be easy to add).

I can add one, just thought it's not necessary. I didn't say noreg-hard. :-)
