RFR 8087157: PKCS11 provider not instantiated with security manager

[Valerie Peng]

Well, the othervm mode is needed not because of the cleanup/disable of 
SecurityManager, but to ensure that SunPKCS11 provider is created under 
a SecurityManager.

Without the othervm mode, the test will always pass even if the 
necessary permission is not in java.policy because SunPKCS11 provider is 
already created and present when this test is run. This is also a 
surprise to me when I first run the regression test against the 
before-fix java.policy and the test kept passing unexpectedly.
