RFR: 8028787: tmtools/jstat/gcoldcapacity/jstat_gcoldcapacity02 fails nsk.share.Failure: OGC < OGCMN in RT_Baseline

[Stefan Johansson]

Thanks Thomas and Stefan for reviewing.

Just an update about testing, after some good input from Bengt I managed 
to reproduce with the tmtools-test in question and also verify that the 
fix works as intended with the test.

Thanks,
Stefan
