Please, review the following test change
Issue : https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8034263
Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jbachorik/8034263/webrev.00
The test fails intermittently only for CMS collector -
"One thing about CMS is that it does concurrent work. So just a theory 
would be that a concurrent cycle is started and sometime finishes (which 
might trigger a notification) and sometimes does not finish before the 
test has completed. " (from discussion with Bengt Rutisson)
The 'fix' is to relax the condition for when CMS is used and check that 
at least the expected number of notifications was triggered.
Thanks,
-JB-
