RFR: JDK-8267371: Concurrent gtests take too long

More than half of the total runtime of the gtests is currently used by just three tests:

- VirtualSpace.os_reserve_space_concurrent_vm
- VirtualSpace.os_virtual_space_concurrent_vm
- os_linux.reserve_memory_special_concurrent_vm

These tests do concurrent tests with 30 threads, with a timeout of 15 seconds each.

Since we run the gtests with several configurations (see hotspot/jtreg/gtests) these numbers multiply, which hurts especially when run as part of tier1. I think we can safely reduce the timeouts, still have good test coverage and recover some of the gtest runtime.

---

The patch reduces the timeout to 5 seconds, which reduces the time for one gtest by 30 seconds from 80 seconds down to 50 seconds.
