runtime: recheck GC trigger before actually starting GC
Currently allocation checks the GC trigger speculatively during allocation and then triggers the GC without rechecking. As a result, it's possible for G 1 and G 2 to detect the trigger simultaneously, both enter startGC, G 1 actually starts GC while G 2 gets preempted until after the whole GC cycle, then G 2 immediately starts another GC cycle even though the heap is now well under the trigger. Fix this by re-checking the GC trigger non-speculatively just before actually kicking off a new GC cycle. This contributes to #11911 because when this happens, we definitely don't finish the background sweep before starting the next GC cycle, which can significantly delay the start of concurrent scan.
