RFR: 8129315: java/net/Socket/LingerTest.java and java/net/Socket/ShutdownBoth.java timeout intermittently

Thanks Alan!

I have already pushed those changes - but I'll retain this trick
for the next batch. FWIW I saw that the default value for the
backlog in the impl was 50, so that's what I'd been using.
But not having to specify it at all is indeed a better solution.

best regards,
