[7u4] Request for phase 2 approval CR 7074616: java.lang.management.ManagementFactory.getPlatformManagementInterfaces fails

[Frederic Parain]

The first implementation of this method was working
as expected, but a later modification has introduced
this bug. The issue has not been detected before the
push because there wasn't any unit test or TCK test
associated with this method at this time. A CR
requesting the addition of tests for this method to
the TCK exists, but the fix has not been implemented
yet.

I've contacted the TCK team about this issue, but I
don't know when the TCK will be fixed.

This changeset contains a unit test to prevent this
issue to happen again.
