RFR: 8269881: SA stack dump fails to include stack trace for SteadyStateThread

The completely unrelated fix to [JDK-8335124](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8335124) led me to believe that the issue with sometimes not being able to get the stack trace of the SteadyStateThread might be due to the thread being active for a short period after being reported as in the Thread.State.BLOCKED state. Once set to that state, the thread still needs to call a native OS API to block the thread so it is truly idle. During this time the thread stack might be inconsistent and not walk-able. The fix is to add a short sleep after the thread has moved to the Thread.State.BLOCKED state to give it a chance to finish blocking.

 - Add a 1/2 second delay to make sure the SteadyStateThread is blocked and idle.
