RFR: JDK-8078904 : CMS: Assert failed: Ctl pt invariant

[Tom Benson]

Hi Eric,
I understand the comment below resulting in no longer preventing 
max_plab_samples from getting smaller than 2k.  But I see the factor of 
2 in computing _survivor_chunk_capacity and array size was also removed, 
which would have affected any size.  Was that just viewed as an 
arbitrary inflation, or ?
Tnx,
Tom
