Fix CC collector thread flip and JNI critical section deadlocks.
There's a bug in the synchronization between the CC collector's thread flip and JNI critical sections where it incorrectly attempts to make the synchronization scheme to be writer (GC) preference to avoid starvation of GC in the presence of frequent JNI critical section enter/exit. This could cause a deadlock between them if a thread enters a nested JNI critical section after a thread flip occurs. This is reproduced in the added test. The fix is to use a thread local disable counter in addition to the global counter to detect a nested enter by the same thread and avoid waiting if nested.
