Hi,

Please review this small change to fix logging test 
LoadLibraryTest.java.  The fix prevents the main thread from terminating 
before the Cleaner thread has had a chance to unload native library 
"LoadLibraryClass".  It does this in the following way.

Java has a restriction that a native library can only be loaded by one 
class loader.  The JDK is able to implement this restriction by 
synchronizing access to loading and unloading native libraries.  (See 
synchronization on static object loadedLibraryNames in 
jdk/internal/loader/NativeLibraries.java.) So, the code in the test that 
checks if the class that loaded the native library was unloaded, was 
changed to try to load the native library.  If it was able to load the 
native library then it knows that the Cleaner thread has finished 
unloading the library.  If not, it waits a little and checks again in a 
polling loop.

The modified test was tested on Linux-x64, Linux-aarch64, Windows, and 
Mac OS X and run 500+ times using Window-x64 fastdebug builds.

Thanks, Harold
