This was a forced move due to issues getting JVMTI to work with virtual threads. JVMTI can now hide events during transitions so we can invert the sequence back to mounting before running the continuation, unmounting after freezing, and re-mounting after thawing. This sequence is important for future changes that will initiate the freezing from the VM.
