Please review this fix for the java/util/TimeZone/Bug6912560.java test.
The problem with the test is that it fails when running with Java Flight
Recorder enabled. This is because JFR will call TimeZone.getDefault() when it
starts up, before the main() method is called. This will cause TimeZone to
cache the value so that when the test calls TimeZone.getDefault() it will get
the old value. The solution here is to reset the value in the beginning of the
test.

The change to the test seems reasonable.
But I can't help but think that this behaviour of JFR will cause
problems for real applications that expect to be first to access the
timezone. Perhaps JFR should reset the timezone after it grabs a copy?
