The JNI Local roots do not need a load barrier, only JNI Global roots need
that. The JNI Local roots are processed on safepoint entry as part of the
"thread head" (via `ZStackWatermark::ZStackWatermark::start_processing_impl()`
-> `Thread::oops_do_no_frames()`), so once you are in
`VM_HeapDumper::do_thread()` the JNI Local roots have already passed a load
barrier.
