Once the specific GC cycle finishes, the NamedThread::_gc_id is restored to the original value which is `undefined`, which causes the asserts when Enabling JFR, in release build it should cause invalid GC id in some of JFR events.

>> it is confusing that Shenandoah generates its own gc id but not use it for GC logging and JFR, the solution is fairly simple, the control thread just need inject gc id with GCIdMark(gc_id) it generates in `ShenandoahControlThread::run_service` and `ShenandoahGenerationalControlThread::run_gc_cycle`

Thanks for the reviews and suggestions!
