Request for Review (s) - 7012980: PSOldGen is increased if there is no space in Metaspace

[Tom Benson]

Hi Jon,
Looks good to me as well.  One thing I noticed is that this will also 
prevent growth when GC cause is _gc_locker, which I think would have 
happened before.   I think that's OK, and possibly even good, since the 
real reason for the GC is lost, but just noting that it is a difference.
