> ### Summary
> This PR just replaces `ThreadCritical` with a lock specific to NMT.  
> `ThreadCritical` is a big lock and is unnecessary for the purposes of NMT. 
> I've implemented the new lock with a semaphore so that it can be used early 
> before VM init.  There is also the possibility of adding assertions in places 
> we expect NMT to have synchronization. I haven't added assertions yet in many 
> places because some code paths such as the (NMT tests)  don't lock yet. I 
> think it makes sense to close any gaps in locking in another PR in which I 
> can also add more assertions. 
> 
> Testing:
> - hotspot_nmt
> - gtest:VirtualSpace
> - tier1
