Hi all,

  please review this alternate implementation of 8277394. During the review of the first implementation (https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/6453) the reviews did not like that the `WorkerThreads` were stashed away in the `ReferenceProcessor`.

This is an alternate implementation that implements the suggestion in the review comments, passing them along through the callers. While this requires a bit more changes, imo it better separates reference processor logic from the execution resources.

Testing: tier1-5

Thanks,
  Thomas
