When one executes HotSpotConstantReflectionProvider::readStableFieldValue method for an instance field and JavaConstant.NULL_POINTER as a receiver, it throws an NPE. However, the javadoc says it should return null.

E.g. when we execute method HotSpotConstantReflectionProvider::readFieldValue for an instance field and JavaConstant.NULL_POINTER as a receiver, we get null as expected.
