RFR (XS): 8035585: Restore UseOldInlining in jdk8u

[Vladimir Kozlov]

Kris,

The flag name is deceiving. We only used code with UseOldInlining=true.
The code which was removed was under !UseOldInlining (negated). We kept 
the code which was under UseOldInlining. So the behavior did not 
changed. And the flag is in deprecated list:

+ { "UseOldInlining", JDK_Version::jdk(9), JDK_Version::jdk(10) },

Thanks,
Vladimir
