Looking at the test code more carefully, I think the transition from native to VM was to
deal with some assert_in_safepoints in some places in OopStorage’s implementation.

The GCId issue seems to have been dealt with by explicitly passing GCId::undefined() to
the AbstractGangTask constructor.  The proposed default behavior would work for the
oopstorage gtest, but the test still seems like it needs updating.
