On a machine with a large number of CPU cores, each testcase will start more gc threads and JIT threads, and the number of jtreg concurrency will also be relatively large, causing the total number of threads of all testcases to easily exceed 4096. For example, in the example below, my environment configuration ulimit -u is unlimited. I first start a background java process, which will start 5000 threads and will not exit; then I use shell predix `ulimit -u` to start the java process (similar to the test situation of this testcase), and then I cannot start java.

Thanks your correction @dholmes-ora.
I have move this test to test/hotspot/jtreg/resourcehogs, similar to [JDK-8227645](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8227645).
