The target application will try to exhaust the heap memory and then trigger garbage collection by `ClassUnloader.eatMemory()` in file test/hotspot/jtreg/vmTestbase/nsk/jvmti/AttachOnDemand/attach020/attach020Target.java.

Before this PR, the physical memory usage is about 30.7GB(this depends the total free memory on the test machine), and the jtreg main action take about 11 seconds to finish; After this PR, the physical memory usage is about 126MB, and the jtreg main action take about 0.7 senonds to finish. I use below command to get the usage of physical memory.
