[JFR: jdk8u-jfr-incubator] RFR: JDK-8230707: JFR related tests are failing

[Mario Torre]

Hi Andrew and Aleksey,

Here's a new webrev, it includes an additional test fix for test
related to the now missing EnableTracing option. I re-added the option
but it's a no-op now:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~neugens/8230707/webrev.01/

This was possibly an incompatible change (although fine by the spec
since it's hidden behind -XX), with this additional fix if someone
executes with -XX:EnableTracing won't have startup issues.

Cheers,
Mario

Cheers,
Mario
