This fix reverts the behavior to the state previous to JDK-8160768, where an authentication failure stops from trying other LDAP servers with the same credentials [1]. After JDK-8160768 we have 2 possible loops to stop: the one that iterates over different URLs and the one that iterates over different endpoints (after a DNS query that returns multiple values).

Is the new behavior something that could be tested with a new non regression test?
See existing tests in `test/jdk/com/sun/jndi/ldap`
