JDK-8212605 - Pure-Java implementation of AccessController.doPrivileged
Description
David Holmes commented during review of JDK-8212605:

"I'm unclear about the change to the test:

test/hotspot/jtreg/runtime/JVMDoPrivileged/DoPrivRunAbstract.jasm

as it still refers to the now non-existent JVM_DoPrivileged in the summary (and test path). Does this test still make sense? Should it be moved to the Java side now it doesn't actually test anything in the VM?"
Comments
The Security libs team don't want them in their area. I think they still add some value despite the name anomaly in the test name and so will just leave them as-is.

I think these can simply be moved to jdk/java/security/AccessController/
