Test source: https://github.com/ibmruntimes/openj9-openjdk-jdk/blob/openj9/test/hotspot/jtreg/gc/InfiniteList.java

Test generates OOM condition intentionally.

OOM expected to be caught in the "MainThread" 0x14d8c1500 (and it is) but also occur in the "Finalizer thread" 0x14b811500:

@tajila Test creates artificial OOM in the Main Thread and catching it, but also got OOM in Finalization Thread. Is it the test issue or VM/GC should do something better?

We've had other failures like this in the past. Tests like these tend to be flaky. I think maybe we should disable finalization for these tests.
