JDK 9 RFR of JDK-8081734 : ConcurrentHashMap/ConcurrentAssociateTest.java, times out 90% of time on sparc with 256 cpu.

Hello,

Please review a small change to adders

     JDK-8081734 : ConcurrentHashMap/ConcurrentAssociateTest.java, times 
out 90% of time on sparc with 256 cpu.
     http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~darcy/8081734.0/

Patch below.

Some background, when run on large machines, 256 processors/threads, 
this test takes many minutes to run due to hitting some degenerate 
conditions. Bounding the concurrency to 32 serves the purposes of 
checking for the conditions the test was written for while also allowing 
a reasonable execution time for a single test.

Thanks,

-Joe
