[8u-dev] Backport request: 8033542: test/java/util/logging/SimpleLogManager might let Loggers be gc'ed too early.

[Daniel Fuchs]

Hi,

I would like to backport the fix for [1]:

8033542: test/java/util/logging/SimpleLogManager might let Loggers
          be gc'ed too early.

to 8u-dev (8u20)

This is a clean hg import/hg export of the JDK 9 changeset [2].
Review was conducted on core-lib-dev at openjdk.java.net [3]
