8040162: Avoid reallocating PLABs between GC phases in G1 Summary: Allocate G1ParScanThreadState at the start of GC and only deallocate at the end of GC. This automatically keeps the current PLAB intact without flushing it (and loosing lots of memory) for every reallocation. Reviewed-by: david, mgerdin
