RFR(S) [8u] 8189170: Add option to disable stack overflow checking in primordial thread for use with JNI_CreateJavaJVM

[David Holmes]

Sorry David one minor nit.

In the <os>_<cpu>.cpp files where you changed is_initial_thread() to 
is_primordial_thread(), in the following comment it still says

// initial thread ...

but should now say

// primordial thread

No need to see updated webrev.

Thanks,
David
