Summary: The ReferencePendingListLocker asserts that the pending list
lock is never taken recursively. This is incorrect, as it can be taken
by a GC operation initiated by the ReferenceHandler thread, which might
already own the lock. The asserts were added as part of JDK-8151601 in
an attempt to strengthen the code, but they are incorrect and should be
removed.
