chrome://discards/ shows incognito tabs

Reported by mr.ber...@gmail.com, Apr 1 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/49.0.2623.110 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open incognito window
2. Open some website there (let's say, a sports live ticker while at work)
3. Maybe open a new tab page there, too, to hide the incognito tab from showing in the task bar (on Windows)
4. Continue working
5. Open chrome://discards/ in regular mode (not incognito mode)

What is the expected behavior?
I expected an incognito tab not to show.

What went wrong?
It does. Not necessarily a privacy issue because the incognito tab is actually open; but it shows something from incognito that may not be visible on screen otherwise.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 49.0.2623.110  Channel: stable

Given that incognito mode is still open and you can just cycle through the open tabs and windows, I don't think that we need to put constraints on a debug-window.

The situation would be different if chrome://discards were to show closed incognito tabs.

georgesak@ FYI
Agreed. This is no different that opening the Task Manager (shift+esc) and incognito tabs are displayed there as well.
