THRIFT-5430: Fix deadlock triggered by FieldMetaData.class.
Details of the deadlock are in the ticket.
This PR addresses the deadlock by limiting the scope of the locks
acquired in FieldMetaData.java to only protect calls to the structMap
hashtable. No locks should be held when the call to sClass.newInstance()
is in progress.
Tested: Regular CI builds should pass.
