RFR: 8176717: GC log file handle leaked to child processes

[Leo Korinth]

Hi!

Cross-posting this to both hotspot-dev and hotspot-runtime-dev to get 
more attention. Sorry.

Original mail conversation can be found here: 
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/hotspot-dev/2018-March/030637.html

I need feedback to know how to continue.

Thanks,
Leo
