The successor protocol is an internal implementation detail of ObjectMonitor. It is NOT exposed
to person debugging their Java program. Just because a suspend thread is marked as  the
successor, that does NOT mean it should prevent other non-suspended threads from entering
the monitor. In other words, being the successor IS NOT the same as owning the monitor.
