Here is a second revision that avoids adding the monitor methods to WhiteBox:

  http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~psandoz/jdk9/JDK-8054494-dev-unsafe-monitor-remove/webrev/

I investigated changing ProcessBuilder/Basic.java to use WhiteBox.isMonitorInflated (with some judicious jtreg annotations and placing things on the boot classpath). However the peculiarities of when monitor inflation occurs seem to make using this unreliable so i left this test as is.
