Need reviewer for 6876541: (file) Files.walkFileTree(...): no SecurityException if read access to the starting file is denied

[Christopher Hegarty -Sun Microsystems Ireland]

These changes look good.

I have just one minor question about the testcase. Why does it disallow 
user.dir == test.src. Will this mean that the directory has implicit 
permission or is it just catching the case where the user tries to run 
the test outside of jtreg?

The reason I ask is that in the case of failure it is sometimes useful 
to be able to run the test standalone.
