RFR for JDK-6963118 Intermittent test failure: test/java/nio/channels/Selector/Wakeup.java fail intermittently (win)

[srikalyan]

Hi all, I am working on bug JDK-6963118 
<https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-6963118> .

Root Cause:
- Sensitive timing dependency between events in Main and Sleeper threads 
are causes for test failure.

Suggested Fix:
   1) Main thread should wait for more than 1sec(made it 3sec) and check 
more often than 50ms(made it 1ms) intervals , sleeper thread may be 
still waiting for interrupt/wakeup hence main thread waiting for just 
1sec to flag a failure is premature. The reason is especially on windows 
high priority virus scanners etc run(we faced it when simulating 
failures) and kept the system busy.
   2) The test is essentially a sequence of 2 events
   a)Firing up wakeups/interrupts followed by a
   b)Check
   - Main and sleeper thread must step in tandem(synch) which can be 
done by checking the sleeper.entries value and yielding the main thread 
as required.

Please let me know if you have any comments or suggestions.
