Please review this small fix to prevent possible Null pointer dereferences.  The fix adds a Null check to prevent trying to park a Null thread.  The Null check is needed because UNSAFE_ENTRY calls thread_from_jni_environment(), which returns NULL if the env thread is terminated. 

The fix was tested with Mach5 tiers 1-2 on Linux, Mac OS, and Windows, and Mach5 tiers 3-5 on Linux x64.

Thanks, Harold
