There is no need to scan any continuation Objects, which are marked finished, plus there could be potential race condition between continuation concurrent scan and continuation free up for finished Continuation Object.

* For fully STW GCs, there is no harm to scan them, but it's a waste of time since they are scanned during root scanning already.

* We don't scan currently scanned either - one scan is enough.
* we don't/no need scan the continuation object before started and after finished.

it's clear what we do but not why, add: - java stack does not exist

what was wrong with the previous version of this check?

needScan = started && !finished && (NULL != continuation) && (!isContinuationMountedOrConcurrentlyScanned(continuation));

btw, I suspect this is not quite correct order, since setting started flag should be the last thing.
as it's now, it opens a possibility that a third party prematurely starts consuming stack by seeing started flag being set

I'm guessing this won't compile (needs VM_Helpers:: scope, but then it begs a question should more helpers move, as well.
Another dilemma is where we put all of this. For APIs that are used only by GC, this file/class might be slightly better than generic VMHelpers, but possible even better is ContinuationHelpers?

try to make this static
(and releaseNativesForContinuationObject as well - not possible, because it uses member continuationListOption)
