This patch ports changes from #15185 to Spark 2.x. In that patch, a correctness bug in Spark 1.6.x which was caused by an invalid
equals()comparison between anUnsafeRowand another row of a different format. Spark 2.x is not affected by that specific correctness bug but it can still reap the error-prevention benefits of that patch's changes, which modify ``UnsafeRow.equals()to throw an IllegalArgumentException if it is called with an object that is not anUnsafeRow`.
