Generational ZGC has extra verification code for oops, which trigger asserts when it finds stale oops. We have cleaned away some usages of stale oops in the upstream repository (openjdk/jdk), but there are still a couple left in the Loom code. I propose that we rewrite the code, to pave the way for Generational ZGC.
I've tested this by running these patches on top of openjdk/fibers + ZGC. I've also tested this with Skynet + Generational ZGC, where these issues where first found.
