Hi all,

  could I have some reviews for the following tiny backport from
8u20/9?

It disables string table unlink in the G1 remark pause. This is not
required as G1 initial mark treats them as strong roots always.

It is based on the recently posted backport RFR for JDK-8027476 for
7u60.

No changes, applied cleanly.

of other testing in the recent months

Thanks,
