[9] RFR(S): 8129937: compiler/codecache/jmx/UsageThresholdIncreasedTest.java fails with "Usage threshold was hit"

[Vladimir Kozlov]

Looks fine to me. Let author (Igor Ignatyev?) to review it too.

Thanks,
Vladimir

The test fails because even if we disable compilation with -XX:CompileCommand=compileonly,null::*, we still generate compiled versions of MH intrinsics on method resolution and since those are stored in the non-profiled code heap we may hit the threshold. This problem potentially affects the other jmx tests as well.

I added the method CodeCacheUtils::assertEQorGTE to verify that two values are equal if the corresponding code heap is predictable or fall back to the weaker condition of checking that the values are greater or equal if the code heap is not predictable. I changed the tests to use this method.
