Marked test as flaky in https://trac.webkit.org/r206232

Is there some reason why this change hasn't been rolled out?

[Alexey Proskuryakov]

Seriously, a test change that broke the test, and we are keeping it in the tree?

[Joseph Pecoraro]

I'll take a look. Reverting the original change, scoped to just this test, seems fine to me. I don't find the new awaitEvent clearer in these tests at all anyways, and they add an extra turn of the runloop which (in cases like we see in this test) may cause flakiness.
