Hibernate4Module causes NullPointerException when @OneToMany map is encountered

(moved from https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JACKSON-906 reported by Patrick Haas)

---

Serialization results in a NullPointerException when a Map field is annotated with @onetomany and the Hibernate4Module is loaded.

Tested with jackson-datatype-hibernate4-2.2.2.jar

private String mapWithHibernateModule(Object object) throws JsonProcessingException {
    return new ObjectMapper().registerModule(new Hibernate4Module()).writeValueAsString(object);
}

private String mapWithoutHibernateModule(Object object) throws JsonProcessingException {
    return new ObjectMapper().writeValueAsString(object);
}

private static final class X {
    @OneToMany
    public final Map<String, String> m = new LinkedHashMap<String, String>();
}

private static final class Y {
    public final Map<String, String> m = new LinkedHashMap<String, String>();
}
}

Fixed for 2.3.0 (and 2.2.4, if that ever gets released).
