The null check is redundant, so the code could be simplified a bit.
Reviewed regardless!

This is a fix contributed by Doug Lea, from a suggestion made by Alan
Bateman. While I'm handling the fix process for Doug, it isn't my fix
so I am also a Reviewer of this fix. I expect Martin to also review.
The fix is quite simple - break the dependency between
ThreadLocalRandom and the security framework by replacing a
doPrivileged block that reads a system property with a call to the JDK
internal VM.getSavedProperty(). This allows TLR to be used
transitively from the security framework without creating a cyclic
initialization dependency which leads to failure to initialize.
This fixed is approved for 9.
Thanks,
David
