hg: jdk7/hotspot-gc/hotspot: 6919638: CMS: ExplicitGCInvokesConcurrent misinteracts with gc locker

[Y. Srinivas Ramakrishna]

I wanted to acknowledge the essential help from Chi Ho Kwok,
wrt discovering this problem in the first place, responding
patiently to my emails when i was trying to understand the issue,
describing the symptoms of the problem, supplying a test case and
then testing both my initial failed attempt and the subsequent successful
fix. It's such a pleasure to work with the open jdk community of
contributors and users like you.

thanks!
