RFR: 8165955: TestFullGCCount test failed with CMS and -XX:+ExplicitGCInvokesConcurrent

[Michail Chernov]

Hi Dima,

Thanks for your answer. ExplicitGCInvokesConcurrent=true is used in CMS 
and G1 ([1][2]). CMS ends with concurrent phases, G1 ends with STW 
phases [3][4]. Performance counters are updated in 
TraceMemoryManagerStats::~TraceMemoryManagerStats() which is invoked in 
G1CollectedHeap::do_full_collection() and CMSCollector::sweep(). So I 
don't see any reason why we should don't execute this test with G1 and 
ExplicitGCInvokesConcurrent=true. I'd like to keep requires as in this 
change. Furthermore I have a change for WhiteBox to retreive CMS state 
(is in idling or not)[5], which can allow this test run with CMS and 
ExplicitGCInvokesConcurrent, but it targeted to 10.
