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.
