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

[Carsten Varming]

Dear Jon,

Oops, I don't know what I was thinking when I found that ticket. I'll try
to put it back in its old state. I filed a new ticket: JDK-8150013.

I folded the pruning of the scavengable nmethod list into
CodeCache::scavenge_root_nmethods_do, thus removing the need for a separate
pruning step after the young collection.

You can find the new webrev here:
