Currently we free cached stacks of dead Gs during STW stack root marking. We do this during STW because there's no way to take ownership of a particular dead G, so attempting to free a dead G's stack during concurrent stack root marking could race with reusing that G. However, we can do this concurrently if we take a completely different approach. One way to prevent reuse of a dead G is to remove it from the free G list. Hence, this adds a new fixed root marking task that simply removes all Gs from the list of dead Gs with cached stacks, frees their stacks, and then adds them to the list of dead Gs without cached stacks. This is also a necessary step toward rescanning only dirty stacks, since it eliminates another task from STW stack marking.
