https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8159073

The error handling in add_workers() was not treating the non-initializing
case correctly.  If in the non-initializing case, it is OK to fail the 
creation
of additional threads but the number of created threads should not be
incremented nor non-existent thread started.

Tested with gc_test_suite with UseDynamicGCThreads turned on.

Thanks.

Jon
