RFR: 8247740: Inline derived CollectedHeap access for G1 and ParallelGC

[Stefan Karlsson]

Looks good.

Some nits that you might want to consider:

- Extraneous new line. Other places in the file don't add a newline 
after public:, private:, or protected:.

181 protected:
182
183 // Must follow Name enum. C++11 forward declaration of enum.

- I'm not sure the last part is complete. I do understand what it tries 
to say, but I just don't think it's necessary, or that helpful. A 
descriptive comment about the function would be more helpful, IMHO.

// Must follow Name enum. C++11 forward declaration of enum.

Thanks,
