This change reverts the rank ordering of ttyLock and StackWatermark_lock because the latter is held through a very large region and printing all of this to a buffer with xmlstream is non-trivial.
With this change, if tty->print_cr() is done while holding the stackwatermark lock or lower (which is service ranking, etc), a lock inversion will happen with ttyLock. This doesn't happen now because all the code in GC and much of the rest of the runtime use UL and not tty->print().
Tested with tier1-6.
