Hi all,

  can I have reviews for this small change improving the check for empty Open Archive regions using information that has recently been added to the full gc in [JDK-8263495](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8263495) instead of scanning the region?

Testing: tier1-3, manual check that the freeing still works using some hack to create a dummy Open Archive region which contents are completely unreferenced and then running a "Hello World" app doing a system.gc. The patch for the VM to create that archive is [here](https://github.com/tschatzl/jdk/tree/a8264818-create-dummy-open-archive).
