Fix problem with Runtime.runFinalization()
This is a fix for a problem with runFinalization(). The
problem was that all FinalizerReferences to objects that had
not yet been garbage collected were lost when calling this
function. When a FinalizerReference was lost, it is was not
possible to call the finalize() method when the object
was garbage collected.
The result was that finalizers was sometimes never
called, which typically lead to memory leaks.
Also stop synchronizing on the class itself; use a private
lock instead.
