Dan,
Thank you for reviewing this!
I'm not sure, I correctly understand you here.
Are you saying that you agree with this change?
In fact, the thread state can not be changed (and the assert fired) after the 
`is_exiting()` check is made even without `JvmtiThreadState_lock` protection 
because it is inside of a handshake execution.
