[7u80] Request for approval 8026303: CMS: JVM intermittently crashes with "FreeList of size 258 violates Conservation Principle" assert

[Stefan Johansson]

Thanks Rob,

JDK-8026303 is fixed in 9 but yet not backported to 8u. The patch 
applies clean on 8u so I will do that backport and then request a normal 
review for getting it into 7u

Cheers,
Stefan
