6961502: TEST_BUG: 
test/java/lang/ClassLoader/defineClass/DefineClassByteBuffer.java fails

Webrev at:
   http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mchung/6961502/webrev.00/

This test intends to test various cases of passing java.nio.ByteBuffers 
to defineClass().  However, it never tests what it is intended for.   In 
othervm mode, the system class loader, the parent of DummyClassLoader, 
successfully finds TestClass and defines it before it gets to the 
DummyClassLoader to do the job.

This test fails in samevm mode since jtreg URLClassLoader to load 
classes for the test.classes directory is not in the DummyClassLoader's 
delegation hierarchy.

Thanks
Mandy
