Hello,

Please review the patch below for 
sun/security/ssl/SocketCreation/SocketCreation.java test.

The test has been observed to fail intermittently, but I couldn't 
reproduce it by running the test in a loop. The test creates sockets for 
TLS connection in different ways. Even if the test is very old, I 
wouldn't like to change its original behavior. It might be better to use 
SSLSocketTemplate here, but it would require a significant update to 
SSLSocketTemplate, and splitting the test to 5 tests. Instead of this, I 
am proposing to add some simple synchronization on client side where the 
test was seen to fail. If it doesn't work, we can try to use 
SSLSocketTemplate then.
