IAE is already declared to be thrown for read-only buffers or attempting a positional read/write with a negative file position.

The tests include attempts to close a shared arena while an I/O operation is in progress. For now, the testAsyncFileChannelXXX tests are disabled until they meet up with the changes in JDK-8357847 (pr/25531).

The changes look OK to me. I glanced through the tests (especially the MemorySegments.java) and they look fine too.
