I can't immediately find anything in jcstress that does this (although I 
might not be looking in the right place).

If you do:

make test TEST="micro:LockUnlock.testRecursiveSynchronizationNoBias" 
MICRO="OPTIONS=-t 10"

It will run that recursive JMH case with 10 threads. In this case the 
lock will be inflated and as we don't have a fast-path for 
recursive-monitor we will call into the runtime for each recursive 
monitorenter/exit. The JMH test isn't checking for correctness but we at 
least don't hit any assertions in a fastdebug build.

Thanks,
Nick
