I just looked into this a bit... there's no convenient place to hang
the assert.
Currently, the locking infrastructure determines the "owner" of a lock
by checking if the magic pointer is on the current thread's stack.
(Basically we just need to know if the current thread is doing a
recursive lock --- in locks.c::slowLockMutex()).
An alternative is to put an assert in
kaffe/kaffevm/systems/unix-jthreads/jthread.c:jmutex_lock():
assert(lock->holder != jthread_current());
We're already keeping track of ownership information here.... Actually
that code will deadlock a thread if entered it recursively.
