Subject: [PATCH] Add another workaround for the ephemeron pool

Disabling write barrier deferral in config.h, uncovered a second
problem: mps/test/function/eph1.c fails because segments aren't scanned
if the segment's summary doesn't intersect with the white set.

* mps/code/trace.c (traceFindGrey): Force rescanning by adding the white
set to the segments summary.
