[This is a follow up for bug 730234 comment 5]

In all practical cases JS_LockGCThing/JS_UnlockGCThing duplicates functionality of JS_AddRoot/JS_RemoveRoot while providing no efficiency benefits as both types of API are implemented via similar hashtables. So we should consider to keep only JS_AddRoot/JS_RemoveRoot and remove JS_LockGCThing/JS_UnlockGCThing.

GenerationalGC cannot work with LockGCThing.  We need to transition its users to the other rooting APIs and then kill it.
