That `ParCompactionManager`'s task queue is also not wired into the work stealing mechanism (i.e. the `TaskQueueSet`). This causes unnecessary code duplication when printing statistics for something which is mostly not used at all.

In e.g. G1 we also just use the 0'th "worker id" and associated data structures when doing work in the VM thread directly.
