Description
Failures sighted with PRT:-

jbb on sparc32/fastdebug/c2
gcbasher on sparc32/fastdebug/c2


The assertion is not easily reproducible and can often take several
hours (and many 100's of iterations) to hit (tried on Niagara boxes).

Previous races related to this assertion/invariant have been
fixed in 6561328.

EVALUATION The cause of the bug is the race between the allocation and the concurrent cleanup for the modification of the G1CollectedHeap::_summary_bytes_used field (G1CollectedHeap::attempt_allocation_slow() and ConcurrentMark::completeCleanup()). The quick solution is to just serialize these modifications.
