RFR JDK-8193479: test/hotspot/jtreg/compiler/codegen/Test6896617.java fails after JDK-8184947

[Martin Buchholz]

It would add more confusion to a something that's already difficult to
understand.  It's OK as a temporary measure, but I don't think we want
product code just to enable tests in hotspot.  Can the hotspot folks modify
their test, perhaps making this code part of the test?
