Request for review (m) 8008966: NPG: Inefficient Metaspace counter functions cause large young GC regressions

[Jon Masamitsu]

Ths webrev has mostly name changes suggested by the code
review comments.  There are additional changes coming that
relate to semantic changes suggested by the code review.

This was created by deleting some of the suggested semantic
changes so will not compile.  The next webrev will be relative
to this one so you won't have to look at the name changes when
looking and the semantic changes.

Ignore the block comment about chunk accounting at the
beginning of metaspace.cpp.  That will be updated or deleted
in the next webrev.

The deletion of some dead code is included in this webrev
(limited number of lines).

Thanks.
