[6.0] CI failure: UnauthorizedAccessException in System.Diagnostics.Tests.ProviderMetadataTests.GetProviderNames_AssertProperties

[carlossanlop]

I'm seeing this test failure intermittently affecting release/6.0 backport PRs.

• Example PR: Merging internal commits for release/6.0 #80452
• Queue: Libraries Build windows net48 x86 Release
• Job result: https://dev.azure.com/dnceng-public/public/_build/results?buildId=132447&view=logs&j=79ebbb2e-07f2-5457-c5e5-132dd7ee4ba8&t=160ce0e3-a8e8-5ac5-8623-55bee3c49b38&l=54

• Callstack:

    System.Diagnostics.Tests.ProviderMetadataTests.GetProviderNames_AssertProperties [FAIL]
      System.UnauthorizedAccessException : Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation.
      Stack Trace:
           at System.Diagnostics.Eventing.Reader.EventLogException.Throw(Int32 errorCode)
           at System.Diagnostics.Eventing.Reader.NativeWrapper.EvtOpenProviderMetadata(EventLogHandle session, String ProviderId, String logFilePath, Int32 locale, Int32 flags)
           at System.Diagnostics.Eventing.Reader.ProviderMetadata..ctor(String providerName, EventLogSession session, CultureInfo targetCultureInfo, String logFilePath)
        /_/src/libraries/System.Diagnostics.EventLog/tests/System/Diagnostics/Reader/ProviderMetadataTests.cs(104,0): at System.Diagnostics.Tests.ProviderMetadataTests.GetProviderNames_AssertProperties()

The test failure is happening in this constructor:

runtime/src/libraries/System.Diagnostics.EventLog/tests/System/Diagnostics/Reader/ProviderMetadataTests.cs

Line 104 in fb31012

using (var providerMetadata = new ProviderMetadata(providerName))

@carlossanlop the test is already disabled in main. You want to backport #68417 into release/6.0. cc @danmoseley
