TenuringThreshold being adaptive when UseAdaptiveSizePolicy is off

[Jungwoo Ha]

I think it is the same for all JDK{7,8,9}.

arguments.cpp disabled UseAdaptiveSizePolicy for CMS.
parallel scavange initializes _tenuring_threshold with
  _tenuring_threshold = (UseAdaptiveSizePolicy) ? InitialTenuringThreshold
: MaxTenuringThreshold;
whereas CMS uses
  _tenuring_threshold = MaxTenuringThreshold;

adjust_desired_tenuring_threshold() is called inside
ParNewGeneration::collect(), which calls compute_tenuring_threshold.
It only uses MaxTenuringThreshold and TargetSurvivorRatio.
I don't see any other flags here.
