Description
Test java/lang/ref/EnqueuePollRace.java fails due to conflicting GC options if some GC other than Serial was specified for a test tun.

Test should be updated to remove external GC options or should be skipped if some conflicting option was specified.
Comments
I've just check if it is possible to reproduce original issue w/ other GCs and I was able to do that using G1GC and ParallelGC w/ 8b99 on linux-x64, so I think that -XX:+UseSerialGC could be eliminated from test opts.

SQE is ok to defer the bug from 8u20.

Since it's not a stopper - please add 8u20-defer-request and then we'll get SQE-OK and I'll mark it as defer-approved.

[~prhenry], you're right - it is not a stopper.

I'm assuming that this is not a stopper for 8u20?

No, I do not think so. I think the intent was to limit running this test on a single collector (serial gc chose at random) as the bug is independent of gc. But I am not sure any more.

[~tschatzl], is Serial GC actually required by this test?
