I've updated the code to use the SUN_RT namespace instead of the SUN_GC 
namespace. This also required changes to the JDK code.

I've also added better error handling if a Java Out Of Memory exceptions 
occur is raised in PerfDataManager::create_variable.

Finally, I've moved some common code to the function create_ms_variable.

Webrev:
- hotspot: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ehelin/8004172/hotspot/webrev.01/
- jdk: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ehelin/8004172/jdk/webrev.01/

What do you think?

Thanks,
Erik
