6977970: CMS: concurrentMarkSweepGeneration.cpp:7947 assert(addr <= _limit) failed: sweep invariant
Summary: Allow for the possibility (when the heap is expanding) that the sweep might skip over and past, rather than necessarily step on, the sweep limit determined at the beginning of a concurrent marking cycle.
