  // The mutator_lock_ is used to allow mutators to execute in a shared (reader) mode or to block
  // mutators by having an exclusive (writer) owner. In normal execution each mutator thread holds
  // a share on the mutator_lock_. The garbage collector may also execute with shared access but
  // at times requires exclusive access to the heap (not to be confused with the heap meta-data
  // guarded by the heap_lock_ below). When the garbage collector requires exclusive access it asks
  // the mutators to suspend themselves which also involves usage of the thread_suspend_count_lock_
  // to cover weaknesses in using ReaderWriterMutexes with ConditionVariables. We use a condition
  // variable to wait upon in the suspension logic as releasing and then re-acquiring a share on
  // the mutator lock doesn't necessarily allow the exclusive user (e.g the garbage collector)
  // chance to acquire the lock.
  //
