RFR(s): 8145312: CMS: There is insufficient memory with CMSSamplingGrain=1

[sangheon]

Hi Jon,

Thanks for reviewing this.

concurrentMarkSweepGeneration.cpp: line 606

_eden_chunk_capacity = (_young_gen->max_capacity() + CMSSamplingGrain) / 
CMSSamplingGrain;

If CMSSamplingGrain is larger than 'max_uintx - 
_young_gen->max_capacity()', it will make an overflow.

FYI, '_eden_chunk_capacity' is 'size_t' and 'CMSSamplingGrain' is 'uintx'

Thanks,
Sangheon
