From Java 9 onwards, `LoginContext#logout()` throws an NPE if invoked multiple times due to https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8173069. KerberosLogin currently attempts logout followed by login in a background refresh thread. If login fails we retry the same sequence. As a result, a single login failure prevents subsequent re-login. And clients will never be able to authenticate successfully after the first failure, until the process is restarted. The PR checks if logout is necessary before invoking LoginContext#logout(). Also adds a test for this case. ### Committer Checklist (excluded from commit message) - [ ] Verify design and implementation - [ ] Verify test coverage and CI build status - [ ] Verify documentation (including upgrade notes) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
