RFR : 8051614 : smartcardio TCK tests fail due to lack of 'reset' permission

[Valerie Peng]

Well, I see your point.
However, I am a little concerned that the security check isn't being 
performed in the old buggy impl.
Is there any customer running into this, e.g. rely on the old behavior 
with security manager enabled?
