      Description

        G1 Full GC does not purge code root memory, and that causes a memory leak. The leak is illustrated in the attached file after_8141421_fix.png.

        I made the following simple change that purges the code root memory
        in the Full GC control path. With this change this leak goes away. (see attached file after_purge_fix.png)

        We currently purge code root memory in VM_G1IncCollectionPause operation but not in VM_G1CollectFull which is causing this leak.
