Remove synchronization around filteredPropertyDescriptorsCache in case of non-existing entry [SPR-12106]

[spring-projects-issues]

Craig opened SPR-12106 and commented

AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.filterPropertyDescriptorsForDependencyCheck synchronizes on filteredPropertyDescriptorsCache.

filteredPropertyDescriptorsCache is a ConcurrentHashMap, so such synchronization is not necessary.

Removing the lock would improve concurrency.

That synchronized block was only hit in case of a non-existing entry... But good point, even then it's not strictly necessary since the PropertyDescriptor array doesn't need to be unique. Revised for 4.1 GA now.
