This change seems inconsistent with the function declaration in the header, which is

  static void assert_all_threads_claimed() PRODUCT_RETURN;

Maybe the declaration should be changed to NOT_DEBUG_RETURN too?

I’m also confused about how “optimized” would build with the proposed change.  I thought
“optimized” means neither PRODUCT nor ASSERT are defined.  I see how that would fail
without the change, due to an unused variable warning, because the variable is only used
in an assert.  But with this change I would expect to see a link-time error because the
function is referenced but lacks a definition.
