Currently, we don't start dedicated or fractional mark workers unless the mark 1 or mark 2 barriers have been cleared. One intended consequence of this is that no background workers run between the forEachP that disposes all gcWork caches and the beginning of mark 2. However, we (unintentionally) did not apply this restriction to idle mark workers. As a result, these can start in the interim between mark 1 completion and mark 2 starting. This explains why it was necessary to reset the root marking jobs using carefully ordered atomic writes when setting up mark 2. It also means that, even though we definitely enqueue work before starting mark 2, it may be drained by the time we reset the mark 2 barrier. If this happens, currently the only thing preventing the runtime from deadlocking is that the scheduler itself also checks for mark completion and will signal mark 2 completion. Were it not for the odd behavior of idle workers, this check in the scheduler would not be necessary. Clean all of this up and prepare to remove this check in the scheduler by applying the same restriction to starting idle mark workers.
