We've seen some rare failures of the CLQ Whitebox test on "less-strong" architectures, and the only thing which -- given my research -- could be the culprit is spuriously failing weakCAS (which is correct in terms of the implementation of CLQ).

After discussion with @DougLea, it was decided as the CLQ implementation does not guarantee what the failing test tests, and modifying the test would mean that it would generally not be able to enforce anything, the test is invalid and should be removed -- hence this PR.
