JDWP: fix deadlock with GC
This CL fixes a deadlock where JDWP thread and running GC thread are
waiting for each other. Here is the sequence of the deadlock:
1. GC thread disables access to weak global references, then releases
mutator lock.
2. JDWP thread takes mutator lock exclusively after suspending all
threads.
3. GC thread waits for shared mutator lock which is held by JDWP
thread.
4. JDWP thread clears weak global references but need to wait for GC
thread to re-enable access to them.
To avoid that situation, we ensure the JDWP thread does not attempt
to delete weak global references while holding the mutator
exclusively so GC thread is not blocked.
