> As discussed in JBS the deadlock occurs when the call to `ReleasePrimitiveArrayCritical` performs the transition from native to VM, and in the process checks for special runtime exit conditions - which includes the `obj_deopt_suspend` request. The simple solution is to define a custom JNI ENTRY with custom `ThreadInVMfromNative` that elides the exit check.
>
> The change is limited to `ReleasePrimitiveArrayCritical` and `ReleaseStringCritical`.
>
> UPDATE: we are now employing a much simpler solution.
>
> There is no regression test as this has only been seen in long running stress tests.
>
> Testing:
> -tiers 1-6
