    Description

      It is very common to see code like this:

      void foo(Thread* thread) {
        assert(thread->is_Java_thread(), "must be");
        JavaThread* jthread = (JavaThread*) thread;

      This can be simplified by adding as_Java_thread:

      JavaThread* Thread::as_JavaThread() {
        assert(is_Java_thread(), "must be");
        return static_cast<JavaThread*>(this);
      }

      so we can then simply have:

      void foo(Thread* thread) {
        JavaThread* jthread = thread->as_Java_thread();
