RFR: 8154343: Make SATB related code available to other GCs

[Roman Kennke]

I just noticed that I made the patch against the jdk9 repository,
instead of jdk9-dev. There was a small change to make to
require_marking()/retain_entry(). The updated webrev is here:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~rkennke/jdk-8154343/webrev.01/

And I also forgot to post a link to the jira entry:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8154343

Please let me know what you think, and if I can commit it. Thanks!

Roman
