There is no source code change to `java.management` anymore inside this PR. 
They will be resolved with new bugs at 
[JDK-8327618](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8327618) and 
[JDK-8328263](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8328263). There are test 
changes in these areas in this PR to force them running with SM allowed. 
Ideally, these changes can be reverted when the 2 new bugs are resolved.
