C99 compatibility issue in LinuxNativeDispatcher

    Description

      The Java_sun_nio_fs_LinuxNativeDispatcher_getlinelen function calls the free function without including <stdlib.h>. This results in an implicit function declarations, and some compilers no longer support that by default, leading to a build failure.

      Per the comment in the file, this function was introduced in the backport of JDK-8229872 from JDK 11, so this bug is specific to jdk8u.
