RFR 8080232: Eagerly promote objects in nmethod to reduce scanning in ParNew

[Jon Masamitsu]

Carsten,

This looks like a good change, but 8080232 describes a different problem.
8080232 proposed early promotion for objects in nmethods.  This change
removes nmethods from a list when it is determined that they don't refer to
scavengable objects.  Can you create a new CR for this?
