Code Review Request: 7118100: Inconsistency when using system and user preference on OSX Lion

[Kurchi Hazra]

Hi,

While syncing user preferences, a BackingStoreException is not expected, 
since
the current user should be able to read/write such preferences to the
persistent storage (unlike system preferences, where current user needs
to have admin rights). This fix aims at allowing a user preference node
to sync any changes to the persistent storage.

Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~khazra/7118100/jdk8/webrev.00/

This webrev had been earlier code-reviewed for 7u4(but never committed) 
[1]. There are no
additional changes required for jdk8.

Thanks,
Kurchi
