RFR: JDK-8077265 Modify assert to help debug JDK-8068448

[Jesper Wilhelmsson]

Hi Eric,

Is there any way to use the same macro in psOldGen.hpp and psPromotionLAB.cpp? 
Maybe not, they don't have any suitable includes in common as far as I can see.
It's worth thinking about, but if it's not doable I'm fine with this change.

Thanks,
/Jesper
