RFR (M): 8008920: Tracing events for heap statistics

[Bengt Rutisson]

Hi Erik,

This looks good.

One small nit. In VM_GC_HeapInspection::collect() you preserved the 
comment from VM_GC_HeapInspection::doit(). The comment talks about 
issuing a warning message, but the code to log that message is left in 
doit(). Could we update the comment to be more consistent with the new code?

Thanks,
Bengt
