Description
The following bug fix:

    JDK-8061553 Contended Locking fast enter bucket

is causing intermittent hangs in JDK9-dev testing. That hang is
being tracked by the following bug:

    JDK-8077392 Stream fork/join tasks occasionally fail to complete
Comments
I ran the above work around with the test from JDK-8077392 in two parallel runs. Both runs passed 501 iterations without a hang. In my test setup for 8077392 I've seen a hang in as few as 8 iterations and as many as a couple hundred. With 501 iterations X 2, I'm very confident that this work around will solve the hang.
