runtime: force workers out before checking mark roots

Currently we check that all roots are marked as soon as gcMarkDone
decides to transition from mark 1 to mark 2. However, issue #16083
indicates that there may be a race where we try to complete mark 1
while a worker is still scanning a stack, causing the root mark check
to fail.

We don't yet understand this race, but as a simple mitigation, move
the root check to after gcMarkDone performs a ragged barrier, which
will force any remaining workers to finish their current job.

Updates #16083. This may "fix" it, but it would be better to
understand and fix the underlying race.
