Make sure that two marking cycles do not overlap, i.e., a new one can only start after the concurrent marking thread finishes all its work. In the fix I piggy-back a couple of minor extra fixes: some general code reformatting for consistency (only around the code I modified), the removal of a field (G1CollectorPolicy::_should_initiate_conc_mark) which doesn't seem to be used at all (it's only set but never read), as well as moving the "is GC locker active" test earlier into the G1 pause / Full GC and using a more appropriate method for it.

Calling the methods region_stack_push() and region_stack_pop() concurrent is not MT-safe. The assumption is that we will only call region_stack_push() during a GC pause and region_stack_pop() during marking. Unfortunately, we also call region_stack_push() during marking which seems to be introducing subtle marking failures. This change introduces lock-based methods for pushing / popping to be called during marking.

Remove the G1GCPercent parameter, that specifies the desired GC overhead percentage in G1, and observe the GCTimeRatio parameter instead.
