Summary: An evacuation failure while copying the roots caused an object, A, to be forwarded to itself. During the subsequent RSet updating a reference to A was processed causing the reference to be added to the RSet of A's heap region. As a result of adding to the remembered set we ran into the issue described in 6930581 - the sparse table expanded and the RSet scanning code walked the cards in one instance of RHashTable (_cur) while the occupied() counts the cards in the expanded table (_next).

Summary: Since we are at a stop-world pause, the existing CMS-phase checks are sufficient for safety, and the locking check can be safely elided. Elaborated documentation comment to the case where class unloading and verification are disabled, and the query happens when we aren't in the sweeping phase, where the answer "false" would be (almost everywhere) too pessimistic.
