WITHDRAWN: CRR: 7042285: G1: native memory leak during humongous object allocation

[Tony Printezis]

Hi all,

I'm withdrawing this code review request to extend the change to also 
address a few other issues in the HeapRegionSeq class and its use. I'll 
open the new webrev for code review a bit later in the week (after a bit 
more testing).
