Description:
test/lib/jdk/test/lib/NetworkConfiguration.java has special code to avoid running into the error to be resolved by the main task [JDK-8308807](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8308807).
In order to have a clear picture and to potentially see other hidden bugs this extra code should be removed.
One example is java/net/MulticastSocket/Promiscuous.java, which currently fails because from NetworkConfiguration no ip4MulticastInterface is provided at all. If the AIX specific filter is removed we see the problem addressed in main task.
