This patch adds ThreadLocalAllocBuffer::undo_allocate() to undo the 
allocation made by the last call to ThreadLocalAllocBuffer::allocate().

In ZGC, when a Java thread relocates an object it can use its current 
TLAB for the new object allocation. However, a relocation can later 
fail, if some other thread won the race to update the forwarding 
information. In those cases, the loosing thread wants to undo its last 
TLAB allocation. This is very similar to the existing 
PLAB::undo_allocation(), which does the same thing but for PLABs.
