This allows the available memory to be probed even when other activities hold the global heap lock for reasons other than rebuilding the freeset, such as when they are allocating memory.  It is known that the global heap lock is heavily contended for certain workloads, and using this new lock avoids adding to contention for the global heap lock.

GHA failure looks unrelated to these changes. Internal tests are succeeding.
