> I've seen occasional failures in G1, where the refinement thread tries to parse a heap region that has dead objects, and would sometimes see an object with a monitor that has already been deflated. And because deflation does not bother to restore the header of dead objects, it would reach to unknown memory and crash.
> 
> The fix is to restore the header of dead objects just before they become unreachable. This can be done in the closures used by WeakProcessor::weak_oops_do(), right before the weak root will be cleared.
> 
> Testing:
>  - [x] tier1
>  - [x] tier2
>  - [x] tier3
>  - [ ] tier4
