Thumbs up on the over all logic. I only have minor nits and suggestions.

Thanks for making this a guarantee()!
There is an existing assert() about this in:
ThreadInVMfromNative -> trans() -> transition_from_native()
so it doesn't have to be there for forever.

Why is this still a TODO?

(You'll probably want to reformat the changed lines a bit.)

You're losing the assertion that we're transitioning from
`_thread_in_vm` to `_thread_in_native` here. Although,
the constructor did verify that we were in `_thread_in_native`
when we transitioned to `_thread_in_vm` so at least the
first half is still verified.
Can you an assertion that we're in `_thread_in_vm` here?

When you mentioned doing this with templates, I was having
nightmares, but this one is not bad at all...

Please add a comment after this line:
// Don't need a full fence after clearing successor here because of the call to
exit().
src/hotspot/share/runtime/objectMonitor.cpp line 325:

Hmmm... `_om_exit` flag is misnamed here since you're "only" clearing the
successor.
Update: Now I see that the ClearSuccOnSuspend class is subclassed from
the ExitOnSuspend, but I still find that flag a bit confusing.

Instead of `_om_exit` maybe this should be more generic?
Perhaps `_om_op_done` or something like that?
