Hi all,

  can I have reviews for this small change that removes the use of
jbyte for an internal data type in favor of the initially intended bool
?

The original reason to do so was "G1RemSetScanState::IsDirtyRegionState
is a jbyte because "since there are no atomic instructions for
bools".", but this is obviously no longer true, and the workaround can
be removed.

CR:

Testing:

Thanks,
