Rick Hudson e95bc5fef7 runtime: force mutator to give work buffer to GC
The scheduler, work buffer's dispose, and write barriers
can conspire to hide the a pointer from the GC's concurent
mark phase. If this pointer is the only path to a large
amount of marking the STW mark termination phase may take
a lot of time.

Consider the following:
1) dispose places a work buffer on the partial queue
2) the GC is busy so it does not immediately remove and
   process the work buffer
3) the scheduler runs a mutator whose write barrier dequeues the
   work buffer from the partial queue so the GC won't see it
This repeats until the GC reaches the mark termination
phase where the GC finally discovers the pointer along
with a lot of work to do.

This CL fixes the problem by having the mutator
dispose of the buffer to the full queue instead of
the partial queue. Since the write buffer never asks for full
buffers the conspiracy described above is not possible.

Updates #11694.

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
