RFR: 8169931: 8k class metaspace chunks misallocated from 4k chunk freelist

[Coleen Phillimore]

Can you put this test at the end of the file with // Unit Tests and an 
explanation why this is here so people don't try to port the whole thing 
to gtest?

I was looking for uses of list_index and found this code, which looks wrong:

   assert((word_size <= chunk->word_size()) ||
          list_index(chunk->word_size() == HumongousIndex),
          "Non-humongous variable sized chunk");


This change looks good though.

Thanks,
Coleen
