RFR (XS): 8055919: Remove dead code in G1 concurrent marking code

[Jesper Wilhelmsson]

Hi Thomas,

In CMConcurrentMarkingTask::work() you remove the call to 
_cm->do_yield_check(worker_id). Even though the return value is unused the 
method itself has side effects and I wouldn't necessary call it dead code. Is it 
safe to remove this code?

/Jesper
