In the discussion of [JDK-8369392](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8369392), @kimbarrett pointed out that StringDedup thread is now derived from JavaThread, but ParallelScavengeHeap and SerialHeap still have conditional STS synchronization at safepoint, which is not needed, as a result of removing the conditional STS synchronization, we could remove the remove safepoint synchronization from ParallelScavengeHeap and SerialHeap.

Test:
  - [x] tier1
