This may cause expected behavior: [ShenandoahHeap::complete_marking_context()](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/23886/files#diff-d5ddf298c36b1c91bf33f9bff7bedcc063074edd68c298817f1fdf39d2ed970fL642) should throw assert error if the global marking context completeness flag is false, but now it always return the marking context even it marking is not complete, this may hide bugs where we expect the global/generational marking to be completed.
