RFR(s): 8197993: Remove last use of JavaThread::flush_barrier_queues()

[Erik Österlund]

Hi Per,

I wonder how we feel about the name on_thread_create in particular. It 
is crucial that this is performed not just when creating the thread, but 
particularly when adding it to the thread list while holding the 
Threads_lock to block safepoints, otherwise the G1 barriers would blow 
up. Therefore I would have preferred the name on_thread_add instead of 
on_thread_create. Would you agree with that?

Thanks,
/Erik
