This change does not interact with the mark word if it is in a Monitor (0b10) state, so the strong CAS which is used for deflation are still valid, and will not fail to any other reason than the cooperative race to help transition the mark word during deflation.

Not needed for other platforms? Or will that be done with other bugs or sub-tasks?
