code review rquest: 7094842: jaas/auth test/javax/security/auth/Subject/{Synch.java, Synch2.java, Synch3.java} loop forever in agentvm mode

[Weijun Wang]

Hi Alan

How did you notice the problem?

Webrev at

    http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~weijun/7094842/webrev.00

Here I change the threads to non-daemon, so that if there is anything 
wrong, there will be a timeout (which sounds better than bringing all 
tests slow).

Although Synch2 is in othervm mode, I change the style also.

*Jon*: shouldn't jtreg kill the daemon threads?

I've submitted a testonly JPRT job on jdk_security3 for this.

Thanks
Max
