When using JFR (`-XX:StartFlightRecording`), the configured default Locale is not honored, with FormatData or TimezoneNames(for example), because the relevant ResourceBundles do not get loaded when an attempt is made to locate and load them during VM startup (i.e when  `-XX:StartFlightRecording` triggers JFR initialiazation). Though [1] quotes a mailing-list post [2] mentioning this issue was not seen with jdk11 then, the testcase in [1] does fail with 11.0.20 (as well as 11.0.22/master branch) as of today:

@pushkarnk, you are supposed to also add some comment as part of the approval request to provide the maintainers some information. That includes some reasoning why you want this backport plus a risk assessment and information about the testing you did. So, please update or re-issue the /approval command with some text. Thx.
