[7u40] Request for approval 8015604 JDP packets containing ideographic characters are broken

[Dmitry Samersoff]

Requesting approval to push the following change to jdk7u40:

To meet 7u40 schedule, I'm asking for permission to push the changes
(XS) to 7u40 workspace first, than to jdk8

Summary

Code uses string length rather than byte array length to write length
field of JDP packet entry. So if an entry contains non-ASCII characters
code produces invalid packet.
