Summary: Deferred card marks are now flushed during the gc prologue. Parallel[Scavege,OldGC] and SerialGC no longer defer card marks generated by COMPILER2 as a result of ReduceInitialCardMarks. For these cases, introduced a diagnostic option to defer the card marks, only for the purposes of testing and diagnostics. CMS and G1 continue to defer card marks. Potential performance concern related to single-threaded flushing of deferred card marks in the gc prologue will be addressed in the future.

6660573: G1: BigApps Failure : guarantee(satb_mq_set.completed_buffers_num() == 0,"invariant")
Summary: When exiting a mutator thread is removed from the thread list before it has a chance to flush its SATB and barrier queues. If GC happens at this moment the objects that are refererred from these queues can be moved, which will case a crash. The fix is simply to flush the buffers before removing a thread from the list.
