Can I get review for both this PR and 
[CSR](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8381234)?

As I wrote above, I think both `Linker` and `FunctionDescriptor` should not be 
value based class. However I agree to exclude `FunctionDescriptor` from this PR 
if I can see use case that `FunctionDescriptor` is used as value (e.g. compares 
like `==`).
