RFR (XXS): 8014765: VM exits if MaxTenuringThreshold is set below the default InitialTenuringThreshold, and InitialTenuringThreshold is not set

[Thomas Schatzl]

Hi all,

  could I get a quick review of the following CR?

The VM exits if MaxTenuringThreshold is set below the default
InitialTenuringThreshold, and InitialTenuringThreshold is not set.

Checking of InitialTenuringThreshold <= MaxTenuringThreshold has only
been introduced with 6843347.

This change automatically adapts InitialTenuringThreshold if it has the
default value and is > MaxTenuringThreshold to MaxTenuringThreshold.
