   This PR fixes JDK-8358568, a JVM crash triggered when running with -XX:-GenerateSynchronizationCode
   
   Problem:
   When synchronization code generation is disabled by -XX:-GenerateSynchronizationCode, the compiler’s do_monitor_exit() method still tries to access monitor objects without checking if any monitors exist.This causes an assertion failure and JVM crash.
   
   Root Cause:
   Parse::do_monitor_exit() calls shared_unlock() using monitor info unconditionally,but with GenerateSynchronizationCode disabled, no monitor info is available, leading to invalid access.
   
   Fix
   Add a check in do_monitor_exit() to skip monitor unlocking if GenerateSynchronizationCode is false, avoiding invalid monitor access and preventing the crash.
