[SPARK-14558][CORE] In ClosureCleaner, clean the outer pointer if it's a REPL line object ## What changes were proposed in this pull request? When we clean a closure, if its outermost parent is not a closure, we won't clone and clean it as cloning user's objects is dangerous. However, if it's a REPL line object, which may carry a lot of unnecessary references(like hadoop conf, spark conf, etc.), we should clean it as it's not a user object. This PR improves the check for user's objects to exclude REPL line object. ## How was this patch tested? existing tests.
