validate() deadlock involving applets with synchronized init() methods

A deadlock can occur when an application calls validate() on a container
holding an applet with a synchronized init() method -and- the implementation
of the APPLET_RESIZE event calls validate(). This all happens with the
spreadsheet demo on the java home page and HotJava. It's timing sensitive,
but is quite reproducable on Kona.

Scenario:

1. Applet's synchronized init() method gets called.
2. init() method calls resize().
3. java.applet.Applet.resize() calls appletResize().
4. sun.applet.AppletPanel posts an APPLET_RESIZE event.
5. sun.hotjava.tags.TagAppletPanel.handleEvent calls validate()
     in response to the APPLET_RESIZE event.

validate() is synchronized, so we now hold a lock on the applet (a component) and the
applet panel (a container holding the component), aquired in that order.

At the same time, an expose event is heading into the application (in this case
HotJava).

1. The expose event hits the top level window, which decides to call
     validate on the container holding the applet.
2. The container (through the standard implementation of validate()) calls
     validate on its components.

We now hold a lock on the applet panel (the container) and the applet (the component),
aquired in that order.

Since the lock aquisition happened in the opposite order, we have a
window for deadlock.

To reproduce, run Kona and any of the demo applets that have a synchronized
init() method such as the spreadsheet.
