I went through all the callers of InterpreterMacroAssembler::unlock_object()
and it does look like all caller paths are properly protected by an ownership
check and a throwing of IllegalMonitorStateException.

InterpreterMacroAssembler::unlock_object() isn't the only caller of
InterpreterRuntime::monitorexit(). It looks like it is also used here:

src/hotspot/cpu/zero/zeroInterpreter_zero.cpp
src/hotspot/share/interpreter/zero/bytecodeInterpreter.cpp

At least one of the code paths in bytecodeInterpreter.cpp has
a (sort of) proper pre-check for IllegalMonitorStateException
before the call to InterpreterRuntime::monitorexit(). But at least
two of the code paths call InterpreterRuntime::monitorexit() and
check for throwing IllegalMonitorStateException afterwards
which totally boggles my mind.
