Hi


When deciding when to reserve more metaspace memory we erroneously 
looked only at the "capacity" of the metaspace insted of the reserved 
space (which is what we ask this function when expanding).

Additionally, we didn't check MaxMetaspaceSize against the sum of 
reserved(Class) + reserved(NonClass) which caused us to use more than 
MaxMetaspaceSize even when it was set.

Testing:
JPRT with -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize set for all tests to exercise the code path.
