Given that the proposed webrev fixes only part of the failing tests I'd
suggest to split this one out into a separate bug and keep JDK-8229922
around as an umbrella bug.

I've opened:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8252384

Lets continue review of this issue via 8252384. Note that RFR threads
should follow the bug synopsis. So an RFR for 8252384 should have
subject:

[8u] RFR: 8252384: [TESTBUG] Some tests refer to COMPAT provider rather than JRE
