jmx-dev RFR: 8022220 Intermittent test failures in javax/management/remote/mandatory/connection/RMIConnectionIdTest.java

The fix looks OK for me.

I am wondering that in case of loopback address, is it better to always 
using "127.0.0.1" to generate a connectionId? this will make sure to 
have a unique id.
