Description of problem:

Lock is held by EJB timer (TimerServiceImpl)  and in case JTS transaction is cancelled the lock won't be released correctly . This code is the problem:
https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly/blob/78dee79dd0f49c6cbd2b8db5d8640980faa08892/ejb3/src/main/java/org/jboss/as/ejb3/timerservice/TimerServiceImpl.java#L640

Basically it holds the timer lock until the transaction completes, and then attempts to release it in afterCompletion. The problem is that when JTS is enabled afterCompletion will be called by a seperate thread, which can't call unlock as it is not the owner.

A simple fix could be to just change the lock to a semaphore, so that the other thread can release it.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start a JTA/JTS tx and call an EJB timer inside it
2. Make the transaction timeout
3. Capture a thread dump and see a thread like below  (0a0818b80 is locked object)

Actual results:
Lock being held forever

Expected results:
Lock getting released
