JDK-8273541: Cleaner Thread creates with normal priority instead of MAX_PRIORITY - 2

[amCap1712]

Hi all!

Please review this fix for JDK-8273541. It seems that change 1 accidentally modified Thread.MAX_PRIORITY to Thread.MIN_PRIORITY. As Thread.MIN_PRIORITY - 2 is negative and because of the check 2, the thread priority is not set. Changing this back to Thread.MAX_PRIORITY should fix the problem. I tried this patch locally and it seems to fix the issue for me.

Regards,
Kartik
