Hi,

please review a change for correctly setting the group for the attach listener 
file:

Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~clanger/webrevs/8202650.0/
Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8202650

The attach listener file, usually /tmp/.java_pid<pid> is created from the 
hotspot JVM process. Usually it will belong to the process user and group. 
However, when the directory where it is created has set the s-bit for groups, 
the group of the directory is taken. This will cause errors when the attach 
client tries to connect and it is checked whether the group of the attach file 
matches the client processes' group.

In my webrev I only implemented the change for AIX because we have run into an 
issue on that platform. But I can see this code already in place for 
attachListener_bsd.cpp. And I'm wondering if this should also be added to 
attachListener_linux.cpp because the sticky-bit could be set with the same 
effects on Linux, too. Any opinions about that?

Thanks and best regards
Christoph
