[9] RFR: 8157896: TestDSAGenParameterSpec.java test fails with timeout

[Rajan Halade]

Thanks for the patch, Siba!

This fix looks confusing to me. TestDSAGenParameterSpec has timeout 
specified for 2048 but not for 3072/224 and 4096 case. Why would these 
run faster than smaller lengths?

May be there is some other reason, area experts can help here.

Thanks,
Rajan
