RFR(s): 8145312: CMS: There is insufficient memory with CMSSamplingGrain=1

[Dmitry Dmitriev]

Hi Sangheon,

Please, don't exclude testing of max range for CMSSamplingGrain flag, 
because in this case additional big values will be excluded too. Max 
value for CMSSamplingGrain will violates constraint, but it's ok for 
testing.

Thank you,
Dmitry
