Hi Mikael,

  thanks for the review. Sorry for not understanding your intention in
the first place.

Okay. I restructured this code as suggested, and moved it into a
separate method to not bloat
G1CollectorPolicy::record_collection_pause_end() more than required.

There were some other changes, mostly necessitated by the review from
Tom about the JFR events, which showed that a wrong value were passed to
the logging message. This caused some changes related to logging that I
thought would be best fixed here.
