    Be clear about the lock assumptions of GarbageCollect(); it
    is now required to hold sched_mutex.
    
    The real reason for adding this requirement is so that when
    prior to scheduling finalizers and doing thread resurrection,
    GarbageCollect() may set the lock status of sched_mutex to
    the state expected by scheduleFinalizers() and resurrectThreads()
    (i.e., unlocked).
    
    Note: this is only an issue with pthreads. In the Win32 threading
    model, it's a NOP for a thread to grab a mutex it already holds.
