This pull request is created to help diagnose the bug report https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8354430.

The problem is that we get a ubsan runtime error when dividing by zero. Ubsan is not normally running, so I will add an assert making it easier to catch the problem and printing the value of the two variables that when subtracted will create a zero; it will hopefully help with diagnosis.

Some comments: 
1) the result of most_recent_gc_end_time_sec() will not change within the function, thus I will clutter the code with a new variable, is that okay?
2) I added two calls to `fabs` which are most probably not needed (ieee floating point rules seems to say that positive and negative zero equals). However I think my proposed code makes it clear that I have thought about it. 

I am now running tier1-3
