> This PR removes the recently added lock around set_guard_value, using instead Atomic::cmpxchg to atomically update bit-fields of the guard value.  Further, it takes a fast-path that uses the previous direct store when at a safepoint.  Combined, these changes should get us back to almost where we were before in terms of overhead.  If necessary, we could go even further and allow make_not_entrant() to perform a direct byte store, leaving 24 bits for the guard value.
