RFR (S): 8213233: [TESTBUG] re-evaluate test/hotspot/jtreg/runtime/JVMDoPrivileged tests following JDK-8212605

[Sean Mullan]

Hi David,

These tests still seem somewhat VM-specific to me. We don't have any 
*.jasm files in our tests area. Are these tests even relevant anymore 
now that doPriv is all-Java? The previous bug fix that introduced these 
tests was entirely in the hotspot code and had to do with default 
methods not being called in a PrivilegedAction instance. I would be more 
inclined to just remove these tests unless there is some possibility 
this could be an issue in Java code, but it seems like that would be a 
more general issue then and not specific to doPriv because the Java code 
just invokes PrivilegedAction.run() now.
