JDK-8219585 - [TESTBUG] sun/management/jmxremote/bootstrap/JMXInterfaceBindingTest.java passes trivially when it shouldn't
Description
JMXInterfaceBindingTest filter out loopback addresses: I suspect it's a bug that was added to cover up another bug (which is that the test doesn't work) - and the effect of that might have simply caused the test to be skipped (because it would then find only 1 address which is not the loopback). 
I was surprised to see that the -Djava.rmi.server.hostname system property was required, even for 9.
We should fix the test to do something useful and test the loopback interface.

I believe the issue has been fixed by JDK-8219585, though we haven't managed to remove all instabilities (see JDK-8221303).
