The assert introduced in JDK-8169931 found a similar bug but this time 
in the metaspace initialization code. Using command line flags, there 
are ways to request a non-humongous chunk size (smaller than the Medium 
chunk size) that doesn't match any of the fixed chunk sizes.

The backout looks good.
