gc bugs after 8060252: JDK-7173584 compiler changes regress SPECjvm2008 on SPARC

[Lindenmaier, Goetz]

Hi Roland, 

thanks for the description in the bug!
I guess that's just the reason why tightly_coupled_allocation() was only called
after emitting all the tests: it analyzes whether these tests could be optimized
away.  If they go to some uncommon trap, the initialization is needed.

Best regards,
  Goetz.
