[jdk17u-dev] RFR: 8281318: Improve jfr/event/allocation tests reliability

[Aleksey Shipilev]

Clean backport to improve JFR tests on x86_32. Needs [JDK-8281638](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8281638) as the follow-up.

Additional testing:
 - [x] Linux x86_32 fastdebug, affected tests fail without the patch, pass with it
