TerminatorTerminator::should_exit_termination() might return true to
abort ongoing termination, due to external events. However, it should
not introduce side-effect that may conflict with termination result,
because the current termination may have completed, even
TerminatorTerminator::should_exit_termination() returns true.

This undesirable side-effect is a blocker of JDK-8215047. With JDK-
8215047, termination protocol should complete in one of two consistent
state. The side-effect of setting abort flag in this particular case,
G1CMTask may re-enter termination protocol with completed terminator.
