Below is the root cause of the bug described by Patricio:
The root of the issue is similar to [JDK-8345543](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8345543), but instead of `JavaThreadBlockedOnMonitorEnterState`, the interaction here is with its equivalent for Object.wait, `JavaThreadInObjectWaitState`.
We change the `Thread.State` of the carrier to `TIMED_WAITING` before we try preempting the `vthread`. So we can see the `Thread.State` of the vthread as `TIMED_WAITING` before even calling `try_preempt()` (when the state is `RUNNING` we return the `Thread.State` of the carrier). Then when we check for `JVMTI_THREAD_STATE_BLOCKED_ON_MONITOR_ENTER`, we caught the `vthread` in `afterYield()` still with the transitional state of `TIMED_WAITING`, which is mapped to `Thread.State.RUNNABLE`.
The fix is to delay the state change to `JavaThreadStatus::IN_OBJECT_WAIT*` the point after block with the `try_preempt()` call. The fix is not elegant and hacky but I do not see a better solution. The ugliness comes from the fact that the `ObjectMonitor::wait()` is called from two places: `ObjectSynchronizer::wait()` and `ObjectSynchronizer::waitUninterruptibly()`. We do not need the `JavaThreadInObjectWaitState` in the second cases, so the object is defined in the `JVM_MonitorWait()` but not in the `ObjectMonitor::wait()`.
Maybe, deep refactoring the`JavaThreadInObjectWaitState` base class `JavaThreadStatusChanger` could be a better solution but it is going to be much more intrusive.
Testing:
- Checked the failed test does not fail with the fix: `serviceability/jvmti/vthread/GetThreadState/GetThreadState.java`
- Ran mach5 tiers 1-6
