Summary: Correct the result value of G1CollectedHeap::pending_card_num(). Change the code that calculates the GC efficiency of a non-young heap region to use historical data from mixed GCs and the actual number of live bytes when predicting how long it would take to collect the region. Changes were also reviewed by Thomas Schatzl.
