Description
Test case:

java/lang/management/MemoryMXBean/MemoryManagementConcMarkSweepGC.sh

The regression is due to optimization I did for ParNew: I moved
thread state flushing into a separate method and made it serial (without locking). But when LowMemoryDetector is enabled a "thread-sensitive" code could be executed (like Mutex::owned_by_self()).
Comments
EVALUATION The fix temporary disables LowMemoryDetector for SharedHeap::fill_region_with_object.

SUGGESTED FIX The fix is to execute flushing in it's own thread.
