runtime: force workers out before checking mark roots
Currently we check that all roots are marked as soon as gcMarkDone decides to transition from mark 1 to mark 2. However, issue #16083 indicates that there may be a race where we try to complete mark 1 while a worker is still scanning a stack, causing the root mark check to fail. We don't yet understand this race, but as a simple mitigation, move the root check to after gcMarkDone performs a ragged barrier, which will force any remaining workers to finish their current job. Updates #16083. This may "fix" it, but it would be better to understand and fix the underlying race.
