Currently fractional and idle mark workers dispose of their gcWork
cache during mark 2 after incrementing work.nwait and after checking
whether there are any workers or any work available. This creates a
window for two races:
1) If the only remaining work is in this worker's gcWork cache, it
will see that there are no more workers and no more work on the
global lists (since it has not yet flushed its own cache) and
prematurely signal mark 2 completion.
2) After this worker has incremented work.nwait but before it has
flushed its cache, another worker may observe that there are no
more workers and no more work and prematurely signal mark 2
completion.
We can fix both of these by simply moving the cache flush above the
increment of nwait and the test of the completion condition.
This is probably contributing to #11694, though this alone is not
enough to fix it.
