Request for reviews (XS): 7032849: 7022998 changes broke hs_err compile task print

[Vladimir Kozlov]

No. 0 (I can use 1) means it is from the start of VM. This value (_counter) is 
subtracted from elapsed time in TimeStamp::milliseconds() used by print compilation:

void TimeStamp::update_to(jlong ticks) {
   _counter = ticks;
   if (_counter == 0)  _counter = 1;
   assert(is_updated(), "must not look clear");
}

jlong TimeStamp::milliseconds() const {
   assert(is_updated(), "must not be clear");

   jlong new_count = os::elapsed_counter();
   jlong count = new_count - _counter;
