Summary: Newly-created threads always had the active field of their SATB queue initialized to false, even if they were created during marking. As a result, updates from threads created during a marking cycle were never enqueued and never processed. The fix includes remaining a method from active() to is_active() for readability and naming consistency.

Summary: When enqueuing a completed PtrQueue buffer, cache a local pointer to the buffer and clear the field in the PtrQueue prior to unlocking the mutex referenced by the _lock field and pass the cached local value to the enqueuing routine. This will prevent the same completed buffer being enqueued multiple times, which causes the hang.

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.
