Yes `JavaThread::cast(t)` is preferred. We did a lot of cleanup work ensuring
we use `JavaThread` when always dealing with a `JavaThread`, and so reduce the
places we need to cast. I'm a little surprised we still have some raw casts
left as I thought we had cleaned them all up. I will check and file another
cleanup RFE. Thanks.
