Hi,

Can I please have reviews for the following patch removing the 
special-case code used when ParallelGCThreads is 0. A recent change [1] 
forbidding this flag to be set to 0 turns this special handling into 
dead code, which should be removed.

Functions with two interfaces for single threaded or parallel execution 
used exclusively in these cases have been merged to a single parallel 
version (for example G1RemSet's scrub and scrub_par).

Testing:

   - VM GC nightly

Thanks,
