Increase Java 21 virtual thread performance via get rid of synchronized

[asmburning]

What the problem is : Java 21 virtual thread might hinder its scalability when using synchronized

Based on Java doc Java 21 virtual thread
A virtual thread cannot be unmounted during blocking operations when it is pinned to its carrier. A virtual thread is pinned in the following situations:

1. The virtual thread runs code inside a synchronized block or method
2. The virtual thread runs a native method or a foreign function (see [Foreign Function and Memory API]

Pinning does not make an application incorrect, but it might hinder its scalability.
Try avoiding frequent and long-lived pinning by revising synchronized blocks or methods that run frequently and guarding potentially long I/O operations with java.util.concurrent.locks.ReentrantLock.

Describe the solution you'd like

Use java.util.concurrent.locks.ReentrantLock instead of synchronized

To make this change, we would need to ensure that we don't cause any compatibility issues or degraded performance for any Java versions. Marking this as a feature request.
