Hi,

ZGC needs a per-nmethod lock to be used for concurrent IC cleaning, 
protecting misaligned oops from concurrently being patched by nmethod 
entry barriers, and read using CompiledMethod::is_unloading(), with 
interactions crossing JavaThreads and non-Java threads. This patch adds 
that utility.
