RFR(S): 8240634: event/runtime/TestMetaspaceAllocationFailure.java times out

[Erik Gahlin]

Hi Misha,

Looks OK

Relying on OOM and parameters being correct to trigger the event seem 
fragile, but let's try this and if it fails again, let's remove the test 
or come up with another approach.

Thanks
Erik
