      The ObjectMonitor successor protocol designates a Responsible thread to avoid a memory barrier when storing null in the owner for unlocking a monitor. The cost of memory barriers is a lot lower than 20+ yrs ago when this was implemented. We could simplify this code by adding the write barrier and removing Responsible.

      Performance test this, of course.
