…ue to large TLAB size serviceability/jvmti/HeapMonitor tests intermittently fail when using PS/Serial GC, original test has implicit assumptions on TLAB size and depends on allocate fix amount of objects to consume TLAB and trigger object sampling. These tests will fail if TLAB is above 20M (this can easily happen when using PS/Serial GC and heap is large), when allocation can not consume current TLAB and _byte_until_sample.
Fix in tests is adding an explicit GC to consume current TLAB.
