GetModuleHandleExW and GetModuleFileNameW take loader locks the suspended
target may hold. While the target is suspended only VirtualQuery and a
lock-free cache of image bases are consulted; an image not yet cached is
classified after the target is resumed, and the target is sampled again.
The statics the checks use are initialized before the first suspend. The
host-code wait is recorded in the libkernel debt file, and the test raises
100 times so it fails on every run without the change.

On Windows, sceKernelRaiseException suspends the target and redirects it to
the guest handler wherever it stopped, except inside NtContinue or
winpthreads. A target stopped inside host code (a C runtime call, a host
library) can hold a host lock there; a handler that then waits, as a
collector's thread-stop handler does, keeps it held, and every host thread
that needs the lock stops with it. SONIC SUPERSTARS stopped at frame 65 this
way: its "UDS" thread was redirected inside the stderr write of a trophy
message and parked in sceKernelWaitEventFlag holding the stream lock, and the
driver's logging threads blocked on it.
A target running code of a module other than the executable or a guest
module is now resumed and suspended again until it is back in guest code,
for up to the existing retry limit; a target blocked in an ntdll wait is
still redirected there, as before.
