Cleanup locking of the Reference pending list

• Type: Enhancement
• Resolution: Fixed
• Priority: P4
• Fix Version/s: 9
• Affects Version/s: 9

The SurrogateLockerThread is currently used by both G1 and CMS to lock the Reference pending list. However, there's quite a bit of unnecessary code duplication and special case handling in this area. This could fairly easily be avoided by generalizing the code.
