jmx-dev RFR: 8360599: [TESTBUG] DumpThreadsWithEliminatedLock.java fails because of unstable inlining

This PR adds CompileCommands to the test DumpThreadsWithEliminatedLock.java to force inlining of java/lang/String*.* methods. This will make inlining more stable to allow for the expected lock elimination based on c2 escape analysis.

Forcing inlining of java/lang/StringBuffer.* wasn't sufficient on x86_64. With that the test still failed with TieredCompilation disabled.

Testing: x86_64, ppc64

Failed inlining on x86_64 with TieredCompilation disabled:


make test TEST=com/sun/management/HotSpotDiagnosticMXBean/DumpThreadsWithEliminatedLock.java TEST_VM_OPTS="-XX:-TieredCompilation -XX:+UnlockDiagnosticVMOptions -XX:CompileCommand=PrintInlining,DumpThreadsWithEliminatedLock.*" JTREG=TIMEOUT_FACTOR=0.1

[...]
