Discussed with Erik and Stefan off-line, which resulted in the following 
adjustment. This adjustment actually fixes a long standing bug we've 
had, when make_parsable(false) is called and ZeroTLAB is true, in which 
case we actually retire the TLAB but failed to call 
Thread::incr_allocated_bytes() to update the number of allocated bytes.
