[jdk17u-dev] RFR: 8288846: misc tests fail "assert(ms < 1000) failed: Un-interruptable sleep, short time use only"

[Goetz Lindenmaier]

I want to backport this to fix the regression brought to 17.0.11 by JDK-8292592.

We saw three failures of jdk/jfr/startupargs/TestMemoryOptions.java since Nov 23 in our CI because of this.
assert(ms < 1000) failed: Un-interruptable sleep, short time use only
