> Hi everyone,

> This change removes the remaining mandatory preloading path for 
> null-restricted instance fields when loading classes from CDS. 
> [JDK-8380053](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8380053) already changed 
> normal class loading so null-restricted field types are no longer loaded just 
> because the field is null-restriced. Instead, the preloading is speculative 
> and driven by the `LoadableDescriptor` attribute. The CDS path still had the 
> older special case in `SystemDictionary::preload_from_null_free_field`, which 
> could force loading of null-restricted field types.
> 
> This fix removes that CDS-only preload helper and routes non-static field 
> signatures through the existing `LoadableDescriptor` path instead. This makes 
> loading follow the same model as in `ClassFileParser::fetch_field_classes()` 
> with speculative loading.
> 
> Testing:
> - Tier 1-3

> ---------
> - [x] I confirm that I make this contribution in accordance with the [OpenJDK
