This latest version has only been tested with Mach5 Tier1 so far.

In JavaThread::get_thread_name_string() and when you look at the PR with
white space changes disabled, you'll see this new code which is executed
in the "normal code" case:


  Thread* current = Thread::current_or_null_safe();
  assert(current != nullptr, "cannot be called by a detached thread");
  if (!current->is_Java_thread() || JavaThread::cast(current)->is_oop_safe()) {
    // Only access threadObj() if current thread is not a JavaThread
    // or if it is a JavaThread that can safely access oops.

so I've switched to `Thread::current_or_null_safe` and added an
assert() for the `current` value not being `nullptr`.
