This change checks lock ranking during a safepoint.  For some reason, safepoint checking was excluded, probably from the days where Safepoint_lock and Threads_lock were used.
Because of checking during a safepoint, some locks had to get lower ranks.  The CR has the details of which locks these were.  The Service_lock complicates things because it's held during oops_do, which may take out other G1 locks.
This was built and tested with Shenandoah.  Thanks to @zhengyu123 for the changes in Shenandoah.
Tests run tier1-8.
