7181989: NMT ON: Assertion failure when NMT checks thread's native CR: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7181989 Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~zgu/7181989/webrev.00/

We try to assert Thread's stack base to ensure that Thread::record_stack_base_and_size() to record native stack to NMT, but there is scenario that the thread fails to start, which no native stack is created and should not be asserted.

7181986: NMT ON: Assertion failure when running jdi ExpiredRequestDeletionTest CR: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7181986 Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~zgu/7181986/webrev.00/

This is a racing condition when C/C++ runtime exit handler is ran before NMT worker thread exits. The exit handler calls _query_lock's destructor while NMT worker thread is still holding it. The fix is to make _query_lock a heap object, instead of static object, but the drawback is that, it does not seem that _query_lock can be safely deleted.

Also, I reassigned MemSnaphot lock and query lock, so they participate in the deadlock detection logic.

7182543: NMT ON: Aggregate a few NMT related bugs CRhttp://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7182543 Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~zgu/7182543/webrev.00/
