Summary: Replaces calls to os::javaTimeMillis(), which does not (and cannot) guarantee monotonicity, in GC code to an equivalent expression that uses os::javaTimeNanos(). os::javaTimeNanos is guaranteed monotonically non-decreasing if the underlying platform provides a monotonic time source. Changes in OS files are to make use of the newly defined constants in globalDefinitions.hpp.

Summary: As a result of  the changes for 4965777, the G1 reference field scanning closure could be applied to the discovered field of a reference object twice. The failing assert is too strong if the result of the first application of the closure is stolen, and the referenced object, evacuated by another worker thread.
