8234905: [test] TestElfDirectRead fails on ARM32 due to missing call stack information

[Daniel D. Daugherty]

Typically you create a subtask of the original bug with a synopsis like 
this:

     ProblemList runtime/ElfDecoder/TestElfDirectRead.java

and then use that bug to make the update to the ProblemList.txt file.

However, I wonder if the right solution is some @requires directive
(but I don't know the right one).

Based on what I read in JDK-8234905, it seems like this bug isn't fixable
in 32-bit ARM in thumb mode. Maybe I'm not reading it right...
