runtime: fix sleep/wakeup race for GC assists
GC assists check gcBlackenEnabled under the assist queue lock to avoid
going to sleep after gcWakeAllAssists has already woken all assists.
However, currently we clear gcBlackenEnabled shortly *after* waking
all assists, which opens a window where this exact race can happen.
Fix this by clearing gcBlackenEnabled before waking blocked assists.
However, it's unlikely this actually matters because the world is
stopped between waking assists and clearing gcBlackenEnabled and there
aren't any obvious allocations during this window, so I don't think an
assist could actually slip in to this race window.
Updates #13645.
