Good cleanup, just a few nits in the changes to the NioSocketImpl impl, I 
didn't spot any other issues.

Maybe we should just drop this sentence and not attempt to replace it.

src/java.base/share/classes/sun/nio/ch/NioSocketImpl.java line 647:

I don't think "SocketImpl" works here. Maybe replace "keep compatibility with 
PlainSocketImpl" with "to maintain long standing behavior".
