CRR (S/M): 7075646: G1: fix inconsistencies in the monitoring data

[Tony Printezis]

Hi all,

New webrev with a small fix to resolve an issue I came across during 
testing (I was forgetting to update the new generation capacity after 
the eden / survivor capacities had been updated):

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~tonyp/7075646/webrev.2/

If you started looking at the webrev below, the only change is this one 
(in g1MonitoringSupport.cpp):

  // Finally, give the rest to the old space...
  _old_committed += committed;
  // ..and calculate the young gen committed.
  _young_gen_committed = _eden_committed + _survivor_committed;
